SSD Recommendation

[Kyo]

Hi

Always resisted the temptation to SSD but being a gamer i have noticed sometime games can wait on seek time from the OS.

From reading other threads and (including my friends) it is highly recommend for performance boost. I am not going to move my game partition over, so really looking for a 120Gb SSD to move my OS partition over to help with the bottleneck seek time. Can anyone recommend a good make 120GB SSD, bang for buck.

Thanks
Kyo

I have my eye on the Kingston hyperx 3k 120gb or is that a slightly older drive?

 

[Kyo]

It's older,its not bad but for proven reliability I'd pick the Samsung tbh

Ok thanks mate, will go for Samsung then, the only real concern, SSD degrade over time?

unlike mechanical drives they have shorter lifespan right? How long should SSD last for roughly?

Need to buy a bracket and work out where to fit . thanks for all the help

Right my Samsung 840 120GB SSD just got delivered. I think i am going to just clone my OS partition onto it.

Is the best way, fit it first and then run the software that comes with it?

Cheers

Thanks found that software. I see my OS is split between 2 partition.

* C Drive OS partition 67Gb
* Small 100mb System Reserved partiton.

Would i need to worry about cloning the system reserved partiton? If that is the case then i would have make a small 100mb partition for that?
