Hi guys, I'm getting my first SSD. For 120GB, would the Intel 320 be a good choice? Lazada's selling it for RM199 now.

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jun 26 2015, 01:21 AM) Intel 320 is soooooooooooooooooo old... It also not among the top performer during its time. Any model(s) to recommend for 80/120GB? I'm just using it for rendering purposes and quicker Windows bootup. Not too pricey as I'm on a limited budgetI rather gamble on OEM drives by Liteon/Hynix in garage sale than it.

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 26 2015, 08:41 AM) it's too old, and it's eol. transcend ssd370 is much better. QUOTE(NightFelix @ Jun 26 2015, 09:22 AM) Not sure but at that capacity and budget would be best opt for Kingston. Kingston have 60GB / 120GB iinm. I did a comparison between the Kingston V300 and SSD370. For slightly above RM20, the SSD370 packs a bigger punch so I'll go for it.Thanks for your opinions! |

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 26 2015, 09:23 PM) no problem. kingston's bait and switch thing for v300 is still not so comforting at least to me tbh. Thank goodness I skipped that exact controversial model on the other hand, we saw some happy owners of transcend ssds here. i personally think recent ssds should work quite well for common usage.  The reviews kinda saved me at the last minute.This post has been edited by UserU: Jun 27 2015, 02:40 AM |

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 27 2015, 10:31 AM) when you really have bad budgets, v300 could be an option. it's still good comparing to hdd. True that. If it wasn't for Lazada's sale, I would have gone for the V300.  |

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 27 2015, 01:36 PM) haha i will still suggest you save a bit more and go for others. there are plenty of options around, and with proper care and use, recent ssds should outlast your current system and still offer good speed in the long run. Okay, I will consider SATA SDDs as I read that their prices will not drop down much as long as HDDs continue to dominate the market. Thanks!imo in general ssd development has reached another level in consumer markets. now we have pcie ssd as highest end of all (for enthusiasts and professionals), and sata ssd will continue to be more more common and affordable (mainstream). tbh, sata ssd is sufficient enough to fulfill most general use. |
