1261584	2012-02-26 07:59:00	At that price you won't get much, maybe a 30-40GB SSD. Heres a couple of options www.computerlounge.co.nz www.pp.co.nz To get a fast or Big SSD though you'll need to spend more, these are both ok and probably a nice boost compared to your average HDD but they are at the lower end of SSD technology. www.computerlounge.co.nz would be a better OS drive in my opinion.	dugimodo (138)

1261586	2012-02-26 09:45:00	The Agility 3 series aren't the most reliable, because OCZ take different parts from different manufacturers (The cheapest of the fast parts) and mix them together. If they're going to fail (As two I've seen first-hand have now) then it'll happen straight away so it's not usually a major ... But they are most definitely best bang-for-buck. 475MB/sec write speads, you should get around 60GB for $140+GST?	Chilling_Silence (9)
1261587	2012-02-27 03:19:00	Awesome. What's the deal with the intel ssd's. I heard something about certain ssd's using different methods of something? Anyone know what im on about?	icow (15313)
1261588	2012-02-27 04:10:00	Nope I don't know. But intel tend to have a good reputation for reliability which is why I got one. The 320 series is ok but not as fast as a sandforce based SSD, the newer 520 series is nearly as fast as OCZ's offerings but costs a bit more. Have a read of this www.tomshardware.com it might help you decide.	dugimodo (138)
