1312929 2012-11-17 00:05:00 Which one of these would you recommend?

www.pbtech.co.nz(SSD)-2.5-High

or

www.computerlounge.co.nz

Or something else you'd all recommend?

Space isn't a massive concern, reasonable speed it and good price are.

1312930 2012-11-17 01:27:00 I have the Intel very pleased, so far no issues check specs as the Intel read/ write speed is better and the SATA bus speed is 6gb/s providing you mb supports it.

Will be interested what others have to say cheers Wayne

1312931 2012-11-17 01:28:00 Intel 330 Series Alex B (15479)
1312932 2012-11-17 01:31:00 don't get an old version ssd, kinda defeats the point. Slankydudl (16687)
1312933 2012-11-17 01:38:00 Intel 330 > Agility 2. If you're going to get a OCZ drive make sure it's on the sandforce drive controller (ie Agility 4) not the marvell one. The marvell one is infamous for being bad.


These are quite good: www.playtech.co.nz (doesn't use sandforce or marvell)

1312934 2012-11-17 01:59:00 icow, what about this: www.playtech.co.nz

It seems to have much better specs for 25$ more?
Cato (6936)
1312935 2012-11-17 02:14:00 Yeah the Agility 4 is a step up from the v4. Seems that the V4 is bottlenecked by a drive controller designed for SATA2 only.

1312936 2012-11-17 02:56:00 I would suggest Agility 4 > Intel 330 > Agility 2 Chilling_Silence (9)
1312937 2012-11-17 03:14:00 id say vertex 4 > agility 4 Slankydudl (16687)
1312938 2012-11-17 04:45:00 Vertex 4 at a higher pricepoint.

Vertex 4 ($175) > M4 ($170) > Agility 4 ($150) > Intel 330 ($150) OR V4 ($125) > *Legacy* SSD's > Anything on Marvell

Basically the more you spend the better the SSD is surprisingly enough.
