sid-180 · 26 Oct 2012 at 08:48

need to buy a new a SSD, size wise don't need anything bigger than 128GB.

Use is mainly for photo shop, and on occasion a game.

So any recomendations please.

My personal preference is Samsung 830's or Crucial M4's. Have a couple of M4's one in the htpc other in a second rig, with Samsung 830's in the main rig have had no issues with either and performance/relaibility has been rock solid for me.

Also when I was looking for ssd's both came highly rated and people seemed to be having less issues with the onboard controllers.

Good choice, was also going to suggest the Samsung, awesome drives

Samsung 830, Crucial M4, whichever is cheapest really. I love my Samsung drive though wouldn't by anything else after owning one. Going back to a normal HDD is like purgatory can't wait for CPU to come tomorrow.

Personally i've not had A SINGLE issue with a Vertex 3 120gb and i've built 4 rigs with them now.
They are still uber fast and very low priced now.
I did have issues with Agility 2 and Vertex 2, the 60gb versions.

You also won't go wrong with the Intel 520, that would be my preference, but they hold a higher price for sure.
