Best current 128gb SSD?

[Muel]

Went for another M4, as I already have one so I can play around with RAID0 in future, and it was £10 cheaper than the 830, or the 840 which is yet to appear.

Cheers guys.

Nice one. M4 is a cracking drive. Love mine.

why does everyone dis the sandforce drives ive got one and have had no problems!

It's a bit like how people remember IBM harddrives for their Deathstar drives - people usually remember the bad things about something.

M4 raid0 would be lovely!

It would if they supported TRIM in RAID0.

Doesn't stop me playing in future though if I sell this laptop on I suppose.

 

[passey89]

if u have a z77 board raid 0 supports trim now

830, I think it looks great and has really nice speeds, also I like Samsung's SSD Magician. <3

Worth getting the 840?

The samsung 830 gets my vote, proven, reliable and fast. I have 2 of the 256GB versions myself.

Also while it is true that the big issues with sandforce drives have been fixed, they are still slow when handling incompressible data. For that reason I personally avoid them, but there is nothing actually wrong with them.

I use Intel 520 SSD, it runs on sandforce and i personally dont see any issues with it.
