    OCZ 60GB Vertex 2E SSD


    Hey guys,

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post?

    Anyhow...ive decided im going to treat myself and buy an SSD drive.

    This one:

    OCZ 60GB Vertex 2E SSD
    2.5" SATA-II
    Read 285MB/s Write 275MB/s 50,000 IOPS

    The right choice? its £119...which isnt too bad considering the price of some others.

    Appreciate any replies :)

    Hello Nevakonaza,

    I have the OCZ Vertex 2 60GB, and I have no complaints about it at all. It is fast. You will not be disappointed. :)

    You might also double check at the OCZ link below to make sure that it has the latest firmware for it installed.

    Enjoy mate,

    Hey Brink :)

    Awesome thats good to hear,Would you recommend just installing the OS and the stuff i use the most like small apps such as antivirus and maybe just 1 game like Bad company 2 to the drive...everything else on my spinning drive?

    Just thinking about the space

    These are my current hard drive benchmark



    15 seconds access time....its so slow!

    I would put whatever you can fit onto the SSD. Keep things like music files and video rips and such on the spinning drive.

    I would install whatever you liked on the drive as long as you leave about 10GB free at all times so that Windows 7 will have working room. If you run low, you can always just move or install it on the spinning drive later.

    If you need to save space though, I would store anything like music, pictures, or install anything that you do not run often on the spinning drives.
