Which SSD?

[bigdave2k9]

After spending the last few hours going over threads on SSD im still unsure on what to get.
I've got £120 spare, and im after a SSD drive to throw my OS and regular use programs on.

Will be a SATA II connection as my gigabyte mobo hasnt got a SATA III on.

Any one able to point me in the right direction? As each drive ive read about has its good and bad reviews, so some first hand experience would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum

If you can get another £16 ~ have a look at the SSD below:

I currently use the Crucial in my system

I have a crucial M4, can't really comment on others as I have no experience with them but can say the M4 has worked flawlessly for me and firmware updates are very simples.

Another vote for Crucial here

Crucial M4 128GB here as well, we've had plenty of batches of OCZ at work which have had a very high failure rate!

I've had 2 OCZ drives fail on me so just ordered a M4

This is the only reason why I went for an M4. Seems they are much more reliable.

Have done plenty of reading on the matter, and would recommend the Crucial m4. The Sandforce drives are better than they were, but the recent fixes haven't solved the issues for many.

While you won't be able to reach the full potential of the m4, it's a good buy merely because you'll be able to recycle it into your new system in the future.

Go with the m4
