128gb or 60-64GB?

[Manbatius]

Hi all,

Now I understand that 120 or 128gb was the sweet spot for SSD's.

My system has a 30GB Kingston SSD now, which I have had for some time.

I am looking to upgrade but I am also very cheap....

Part of me says get a 120gb, then cheap mode kicks in and says get 60 or 64.

I have been reading reviews of the new Sandisk Extreme II that seemed positive. Though I have recently installed a Samsung unit (830 or 840) for a friend and that seemed decent.


Also my config is this:
Kingston SSD now 3ogb, Windows 7 64 bit + some programes
1 x 2tb Media drive, about 1/3 full.
1 x 80 Games drive (I was too paranoid to put the games on my media drive in case the excessive use harmed it, currently I have no back up !)

Any thoughts?

You could try a SanDisk Ultra Plus or Plextor M5S as they are generally good all round and reasonably priced

Hmm seen some good prices on the Plextor!
