Intel 80GB X25M SSD vs OCZ 120GB Vertex 2 SSD?
Well hey guys, i am planning to buy a macbook pro i5 (15.3) with 2.4GHz and i am also planning on getting a SSD for it internally. I am fairly new to the ssd generation and i am aware of how the huge improvements are from a hdd to a ssd. But the real question is, which ssd is better? I just looked at amazon's intel 80gb x25m and how this ssd runs much better than any (as said "any") other ssd. But the price is a bit high for my taste. But what i am looking for is great capacity with much high speeds. So far, to me, it looks like the intel got a great speed as advertised and good reviews. As far for the Vertex OCZ 120gb, it has a high capacity but i am unknown of the speeds. The price for both of these is fairly equal. So i am wondering if anyone knows which is a better ssd to get? I am planning on getting a macbook pro and dual boot it with os x snow leapard (or the new os x) and windows 7.
I really wouldnt mind getting the Intel's 80GB X25M ssd if it reads/writes faster than the vertex. I prefer speed over capacity anyways but which would be better as far for both capacity and speed. And i aint going to pay over $500 to get a 120gb intel. i cant afford that xD
