Hi everyone!

I am just asking for some general advice. I recently purchased a 128GB Corsair GS SSD to use as a boot drive. Then i ordered a 250GB Samsung Evo 250GB SSD. I am wondering if i should return the 128gb drive, or keep it as a boot drive and use my apps/games on the Samsung?

Thanks.

just have a few most played games on the ssd

I already have a 1TB Caviar Black and a 1TB green

Does the Corsair have better performance as a boot drive?

I think the Samsung is ever so slightly faster,it would be close tho

I have the corsair gt and the evo and the evo feels better but I doubt you'd tell

the Samsung has a better controller,my corsairs performance drops off slightly over a few months

these are only slight niggles they are both fast drives

think ill just keep it and use it as a boot drive. Then the Samsung can be used for programs. Can't be bothered too much as it was from a competitor with a terrible returns policy. Lesson is BUY FROM OCUK!
