    Choices of SSD's


    Well I am going for a ssd and I am lost..
    Should I get
    Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128B/WW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    Or
    Newegg.com - Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    I was leaning towards the 830 as I have heard good things about it but not sure.
    And my current HDD is
    Newegg.com - Western Digital WD Blue WD10EALX 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
    I only have 1 SATA III port so could I just hook my current reg HDD to Sata II and then hook my SSD up to Sata III?
    My motherboard is
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128555 if it matters.
    And will I need a 3.5 inch bay thing or whatever for SSD?
    Will I need a sata cable? or does it come with my SSD?
    If not please newegg link me!
    Thanks so much! Nobody has been able to answer me that I have asked

    Think of it this way,

    1, COST - What's the most you want too spend
    2, Size - What's the most you want for your OS, I use 90gig. (Cost me £85 - there now £45)
    3, Sata Speed - Look at the write speeds and get one that matches your Sata speed.

    Done.

    I placed mine in the Floppy area of the case. And no you generally don't get a Sata cable.

    I don't see why these don't answer your question, If your willing too spend the cash on a SSD what's your limit, What size you looking for. And as for your motherboard, it has 1 sata 3 what's all you need really.

    I'm saying my CURRENT HDD is hooked through sata 3 i believe. would it work to connect it to sata 2?
    then I use the 1 SATA 3 port for my SSD?
    and would I need a 3.5inch bay for my ssd?
    Link to a sata 3 cable? there is so many..

    For the 3.5 bay thing your talking about, belonging you screw 1 part of it down and it stays put your be fine, it has 0 moving parts and thus causing nothing too move it or shake it so therefore you have no vibrations.

    YES it will be just fine.
    and would I need a 3.5inch bay for my ssd?
    Not if you dont want too buy one, depends on the case, as I said I placed mine in the floppy area and screwed down with 1 screw.
    Link to a sata 3 cable? there is so many..
    Above there are 2,
