Hi,

What you people think is the better or which one would they have out the following:

Corsair Performance P128 128GB 2.5" SATA-II (CMFSSD-128GBG2D) @ £287.99 inc VAT

OR

Crucial M225 128GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (CT128M225) @
£289.98 inc VAT

Your thoughts on this will greatly help

Cheers

Wherever and whenever I searched I always found Intel vs Crucial...

So in this case I would go for crucial. Also they will be releasing their firmware in a few weeks so TRIM will be supported by crucial as well.

how about buy a new processor and some decent HD's

then count your overall performance over some pathetic load times

Longer warranty, higher reads and in stock. Seem to be supported with firmware updates too.

Windows will be snappier, games will load quickly and ALT-TAB will actually respond within an iceage.

Crucial have had TRIM supporting firmware for some time now, albeit with some performance issues.

This. The Corsair P series is based on the Samsung PB22J which performs well against the Crucial M225, but shorter warranty and practically non-existent support for firmware updates by Samsung mean I'd go for the Crucial if you're paying almost identical prices.
