Solid State Drive

Ok, so I’m getting an SDD. (Who woulda guessed?) And I only want one that’s 64GB. (I’m also getting 2 3TB hard drives, but I want the SSD to boot off.

I’ve been looking around on Newegg, and I can’t really decide on a particular brand. Anyone have any suggestions? A previous product that has worked very well? If you want my computer specs, (Honestly, they won’t be a problem) then I’ll post them. Thanks.

any OCZ or Corsair will do.
I bought an OCZ Vertex2 120GB SSD and it works fine so far.
Booting from it is really fast and everything else on this is fast as well, like starting a program, or installing a game.
Be sure to install the newest SATA/AHCI drivers, had problems with older ones(programs getting constantly stuck).




Those seem to be the most popular brand, so I’ll definately be looking at them. Thanks. :smiley:

OCZ’s Vertex 3 or Agility 3 series SSDs sound like a good choice (cheaper and faster than most if not all of the competition; at least those available here).

Kingstons latest are supposed to be amazing though

rich bastards :’(

there is a kingston ssd with 96gb with less than 1€/gb.

^Holy hell that’s… cheap.

less than 1€/gb is a milestone
also 96€ is cheap. I don’t get your irony.

What has this world come to where we don’t use the USD to describe the cheapness of prices. Looks like I need a new key on my key board. :frowning:

Shut up AA+

Was not irony. Was genuinely shocked.

I bought a 64Gb drive to boot off… and it is fast but with all the windows updates and everything it is getting a bit small… so if you can get a 120 gig version.

(i do install all regular programs like office to the ssd as well so that might be why i’m running out of space on that drive)

herp derp i recommend this one

OCZ Vertex 3 seem to be the killer series atm, but I’d stay clear of their ‘Agility’ series.

needs moar IOPS

That’s a rather good point. Maybe I should go to the 120. But like I said. I would just have Windows, Mozilla, and maybe Steam. But if it gets rough, maybe just only windows.

Steam will eat your ssd if you install lots of games.

Well, I wouldn’t install actual games, I would just put Steam on it. Other games would be on the real hard drives.
