Been thinking about this for quite a while now and am almost at the point where I can afford it. Ideally looking for something that's 80GB+, as I'll have a fair few things that I want to go on it and I'd like something that performs quite well. I can spend a decent amount of cash on this, I guess.
Things I've been considering so far are the Intel X25-M 80GB, Kingston SSDNow V+ 128GB and Corsair Nova 128GB. I'd like one of the latter in terms of capacity, to make sure all of my applications will fit on the drive, but if the Intel was to be vastly superior, then I'd go for that (or put a few more months' saving in to it and get the 160GB model). I've also heard positive stuff about the Kingston, though in fairness I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Intel, too. Does anybody have any experience or opinions on these? Or if not, perhaps a recommendation for something else?
Maximum price at the moment is around £250, but if I save more then I can push that up a little. I'm just looking for a significant upgrade from the Western Digital Caviar Blue that I'm using at the moment.Will be running Windows 7 if that makes a difference here.
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
