Which SSD?

Ok, ive decided to get another SSD. Loved the last one i had but 32Gb was too small.

Narrowed it down to either the Patriot Inferno 64Gb :

or the OCZ 90Gb Bigfoot :

Both seem sandforce based but is the extra 30Gb worth the extra £57?

I would personally go for the bigger drive but theres not much in it in Gb/£ £1.66 on the 60gb & £1.72 for the 90Gb and the both appear to have the same performance.

FWIW with OCZ's new factory opening on Monday raising monthly production from 50k to 140k by early 2011 I would expect prices to come down quite a bit around that time (unless demand rockets).

I'm curious, does anyone know if you can use a Bigfoot in a hot-swap bay?

Get the cheapest of them as the next generation of SSD's is coming soon. I would advise to drop Sandforce based SSD's and get the Intel X25-V for the time being if of course you prefer reliability than performance.
