Need cheap SSD for Netbook

pumaz · 30 Jul 2012 at 11:41

I'm looking for a cheap reliable 120GB or more SSD for a Netbook. I've seen drives for under £60 I.e. 128GB OCZ octane 2. Is this drive ok or are there better options for around the same price?

Thanks

i wouldn't go with the cheaper brands there not 100% reliable.

m4, samsung 830 or vertex 4

If its a netbook then it all depends on whether its sata, sata 2 or sata 3.

The netbook is a Acer Aspire One AOA-150 (ZG5)

It's a bit of a project really and just wanted the cheapest reliable SSD i could lay my hands on, Should imagine it's Sata II at best

I decided to order a 128GB Crucial M4 for £79, Already have a couple of these and have been very impressed. I know it's nearly £20 more than I wanted to spend and overkill but I will likely get less problems and a better resale value should I decide to sell.
