| 1250296 | 2011-12-22 06:07:00 | Looking at getting an SSD as my 2ndary laptop HDD... well 2ndary SSD I guess, just for games and photoshop, maybe windows install if its big enough. Not sure whats good, last time I looked into them people were saying they were subject to failing and over priced etc etc. Not sure what size yet, just getting eye in for brand etc. Also something on the lesser price side, but I'm open to all options. Cheers, TEG |

| 1250297 | 2011-12-22 06:31:00 | pricespy.co.nz OCZ seems to best value for money, ive also heard good things about them. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1250298 | 2011-12-22 07:04:00 | Cool, looks like a good price in kiwi land, Ill see what they are like up here. Might be better off from NZ | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1250299 | 2011-12-22 07:11:00 | I have the OCZ Vertex2 ATA 120 Gb. It has worked well for me. The larger capacity has allowed me to have programmes and data on the SSD. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1250300 | 2011-12-22 09:14:00 | I went for the slightly faster speeds of the OCZ Agility 3, I've got 90GB and my wife has 60GB. It's enough for the OS, a few games, and everything else goes on the secondary HDD... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1250301 | 2011-12-22 21:09:00 | Not sure what your budget is but I would definitely go for a OCZ Agility 3 as Chill suggested. pricespy.co.nz this should give you much better performance. I would use it as my main OS drive with all programs and use a normal drive as storage. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1250302 | 2011-12-22 22:33:00 | +1 for the OCZ drives. They're brilliant, imo. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1250303 | 2011-12-22 22:42:00 | Just make sure your mobo supports at LEAST SATA2, SATA3 ideally, coz 475MB/sec * 8 = 3800mbps = Faster than SATA2. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1250304 | 2011-12-22 23:35:00 | Its a new Dv7 with the sandy bridge i7, should support at least SATA2 hopefully 3 | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1250305 | 2011-12-22 23:41:00 | Sweeeeet. Yeah use it as your primary drive though and have a secondary for mass-storage of stuff. Depending on what sorta games you wanna play, a 60GB *may* suffice but if you can front for a 90GB it offers a LOT more wiggle-room in my experience. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
