ssd as a boot drive

flexo786 · 14 Apr 2012 at 16:19

Hi
looking to buy an ssd drive to use with a q6600 setup.
currently looking at the Intel 330 Series 60GB for around £65. was wondering if theres anything else at that price point thatd offer better performance or reliability.

drive is going to be used as the main boot drive

thanks

Intel is about the best there is for reliability. I would recommend that you consider a 120GB drive though, I'm using almost 50GB on my drive with just Windows 7, programs and two games.

crucial m4 is about the best around.

if u follow the guide to install windows and remove the extra **** u shud b fine. ive got windows 7, all applications, bf3, skyrim and a couple other games installed and still have 20GB free.

Yeah, Ive just built a pc for a mate, using the m4 128gb ssd, and cos the build hasnt much hardware for windows to detect, it boots up in 5secs or less, and my pc with the vertex 2e ssd, boots up in 10secs or less. Its a cracking little build Ive done for my mate.
