120gb or 250gb SSD

[myke323]

I am upgrading the hard drive in my old MBP to an SSD.

I only am using 50GB of storage currently. Wondering if the 120gb drive would fine or if I should go with the 250gb.

In other words, is there a benefit to having more free space with the 250gb vs the 120gb?

The larger SSD may write faster because it may have more NAND flash chips in it that can be accessed simultaneously.

Are we talking 2.5" SATA SSD's?

If so, there's not a big increase in cost between 128gb and 250gb.

What makes the difference is if you KNOW you'll never "need more" than 128gb.

Yes. I don't think I would need more, but maybe I should just go with the 250...
