Recommend an SSD?

WxM_IeuaN · 15 Oct 2012 at 15:33

Hi,
I've currently just got a 500GB HDD, looking to get an SSD but not sure what size to get. Would a 60gb be big enough? Or should I go 128gb?

Need the OS on the SSD and maybe a few games but then was going to use the HDD for other files.
Thanks

Do you have £65 burning a hole in your pocket?

I sure do! How does this compare to the likes of a Samsung 830 or a Crucial M4?

For the price, it seems really good, some reviews below,

thanks. My Crucial M4 64gb just packed up and I need a replacement quick. Hope I haven't lost too much data as I could never get windows to fully default saves to the hdd
