Don't get fooled by the R/W speeds. For the OS they are relatively irrelevant. The OS performance stems from the fast access time. The OS processes mainly 4K blocks and for those these 'fantastic' R/W speeds do not apply anyhow.I was considering an SSD at first, but to be honest I really only want a top performer drive (~500mbps R/W) like a Crucial M4.
I use 7 SSDs ranging from a 2008 first gen Intel, a 2008 model OCZ to their latest Vector model and anything in between (including one M4). The OS performance on any one of those is nearly the same within a small margin. The main difference is betwwen those that have TRIM and those that don't have TRIM or where the OS does not support it (like all pre-Windows 7 systems).
Based on my experience the answer would be yes. Even lesser known makes are OK. I have e.g. one Mushkin SSD which is excellent.So I can just go for a cheap, trusted brand SSD and it will still perform well?
I am not sure about your game recording problem because I know absolutely nothing about games. But I have done a lot of screen recordings of videos and never noticed any particular problem.
no worries, that was just some examples to show its fairly cheap here too.
ps, if your doing screen recordings of games then give mirillis action a whirl, you can try it free

Action! - The world's No. 1 gameplay recorder and Windows desktop recorder!
yeah it is, when ive done a full screen recording of the desktop and played it back fullscreen my son thought it was the destop. there is no difference in quality.
tip. when you get the trial of action they will send you offers at a reduced price.
it was about $19 recently
