its you....
the intel 160gb is a good deal....499cad vs 415cad for the vertex with less space and slower sequential speed and somtimes has issues.
the intel is now cheap and has a very reliable track record.
Hmmm Intel = $449 and OCZ = $329, I know the Intel is a 160gb and the OCZ is a 120gb, but how much of a performance upgrade would you actually get? Maybe Photoshop would load up .2 seconds slower? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I really want to know because $120 is a lot of money to me. Space isn't really a premium for me, just want the most effective drive over 100gb. The WD passport 750gb will hold almost anything I need.
