MBP HD to SSD Vertex 3 or 4?

[ThomasLentati]

Hi, I have a MBP 2,4GHz i5 and I want to upgrade it with an SSD, and I want a Vertex one, but wich on is the best between the Vertex 3 and the 4?

Here is the website: http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-ver....html#overview

Thanks,

Both will work.
I personally like the Crucial M4 but V3 or 4 works fine.

 

[Mr MM]

and why would you want a sandforce based ssd?

Is the crucial M4 faster than the V3 or 4?

If you want speed and don't mind being treated like a lab rat, OCZ has you covered. Just don't be surprised if the company changes hardware parts while keeping the same product codes as before, and expect people to not see a difference.

Much more reliable? Evidence?

I had the model before the M4, the C300 and it was excellent. Now running a couple of Vertex 3s and they're also excellent. In order of speed you could probably rank them like this: M4<Vertex3<Vertex4/Samsung830

Any of these drives will be great, you really wouldn't notice the difference between them so I would suggest getting whatever is cheapest for the capacity you need. 256GB Samsung 830 is a good price as is 512GB M4.

Don't expect speed on M4. I get like 210mbps Write and 510mbps Read.
Not much fast.

However, you can expect the M4 not to fail at anytime.
Even if it does, you are covered for 3 years.
Yet, I never faced any problem with M4.
