Ok so when I buy a 15" MBP in August I would want to get a SSD (not from apple) to install.
It would be SATA III for maximum performance, but I wondered why some have brilliant performance, and some dont, for similar prices.
The OCZ vertex/agility 3 and Corsair Force Series 3 all have around 550MB/s read and 500MB/s write.
However, the Intel 510 has 400MB/s read and 210MB/s write. The write speed is only 10MB/s higher than what intel say would would get on SATA II.
I dont understand this performance difference for similarly priced SSDs.
If the performace difference is there, why would anyone ever buy Intel 510 over the OCZ Vertex 3??? (Unless quoted figures for OCZ are inflated???)
Also, a related question that someone might want to answer while reading; for every manufacturer is the performace of the 250GB SSD's always a lot better, or is it just intel? Both read and write are 100MB/s faster on 250GB.
Thanks
