SSD for Z68

Mr Gimp · 10 Jun 2011 at 14:24

I've been looking at 120 GB SSDs to go with the Z68 system I'm building at the mo, and am a bit confused as to which to go for?

Based on speeds alone, the Vertex 3 looks like a winrar so far, but I thought I'd ask to see if there are any other drives which people are preferring and for what reasons?

Thanks

Andy

OCZ for fastest performance / instability / BSOD / bragging rights
Intel for consistent high performance and better reliability

Are you taking about an SSD for a boot drive, or an SSD to take advantage of the Smart Response Technology?

Looks like you're one of the lucky ones, have a read of this thread > http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18284283

I think they'll be losing a lot of custom over the next few months as their attitude seems pretty negative towards their customers. There was also a report that they were using inferior memory chips which seems to correspond to their failure rates....
