Best ssd

Depends what you're using it for tbh. I know 100GB is good enough for my C: so I would rather spend £20 less and have a massive increase in throughput. Not worth seeking capacity in SSDs at the moment, might as well get the best performing drives for the money to see larger differences, atleast that's my view.

This is coming from an SSD virgin who has a vertex 2 on the way... After reading reviews I changed from the cruicial/intel offerings.
 
Ive been looking at the vertex 2.:D Did look at the intel. But that has poor wright speed.
But also looking at the 128GB Crucial RealSSD C300 which has Read 355MB/s, Write 140MB/s and SATA 6Gb/s and 128 Cache. which would go with the rampage III am ordering. works out to be around 20 pound more then the vertex 2. so more then likely go with the crucial with reading upto 355mb/s thats right up my street for a seeing a worthy upgrade

SSD memory type can decide how long your SSD will last since flash memory only has a certain number of writes before it dies.

SLCs have about 100,000 writes per cell
MLCs have about 10,000 writes per cell but are a lot cheaper than SLCs

are the Intel SSD's SLC flash?

edit: to trentlad's post..so how long will a SSD roughly last for in years?

Pretty much no SSDs on OcUK are SLC, the prices are way too high for the average consumer. They do offer a limited range though such as the intel extreme editions, but you're looking at £300 for 32GB :p.

And as you read in that thread, you can see the lifespans are quite large, atleast with SSDs you haven't got the everyday worry of "Will it start" "Is my hard drive dead" that I know I have with mechanical drives. (I think usual MTBF is 1.5 million hours)
