Buying laptop SSD
I bought and installed a crucial M4 128GB drive in my desktop2 and now want to replace the HDD in the Toshiba laptop but am thinking of a different brand for this.
I was looking at the Intel 520 series 128GB @ $205 and was quite mpressed by the specs.
But as a matter of cost cutting I did also look at the Corsair Force GT series 120GB – $160 (alternative Corsair Force series 120GB @ $195) and the Patriot Pyro SE 120GB – $159 (alternative the Patriot Wildfire 120GB @ $225 – a shade under the Samsung - $229).
The Corsair Force GT however looks to work only with a 6Gbs interface whereas the rest all support 1.5, 3, and 6Gbs. The speed of the Wildfire if the ad is right is amazingly fast.
