Ok SSD time for me

Been looking around and doing a fair bit of research.

No way I can afford any 100gb + ones so I think this one is the best I can get for my money -

OCZ 60GB Vertex 2E SSD 2.5" SATA-II Read 285MB/s.. | Ebuyer.com

Am I correct in thinking this is a cracker? Its certainly not the cheapest 60gb one!

Any advice I need when doing a clean install of windows?

Or is it all pretty straight forward?

Will be using my 320gb seagate for storage.


Cheers

OCZ vertex is one of the better ones.. go for it..

Thanks for the links Steve , will give them a good read later.

Had a quick scan over them and alot of it looks to do with keeping data from your old hdd.

I am not bothered about that , I will do a total clean install and just keep my pics etc on my normal drive.(Have them backed up on 2 HDD's + CD anyway)

I am looking forward to entering the world of the SSD as I hear there is a big difference and people have been amazed at the difference.

For me I just need windows 7 on it and enough space for my fav 2 or 3 games and a few small programs so I am hoping 60gb will be ok.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply madtownidiot , from what I have read the vertex 2 is a good 2nd gen SSD which shows in the price.

I could get a 64gb crucial one for nearly half the price , but i would imagine its 1st gen and nowhere near the performance.

You get what you pay for I guess and this time I am gonna pay a bit more.

I have a gaming laptop (Hp ENVY 17) with a pair of OCZ vertex 256GB SSDs. Setup wasn't easy but very much worth the effort

Thanks for the info WHS

I assume it wasn't easy due to the fact you had a pair?

1 should be straight forward.
