SSD Options

I would avoid OCZ based on the fact that they are more concerned about marketing schemes than real world performance. Thanks to Anandtech for exposing this.

Intel doesn't give a damn about having the highest sequential and that is one of the main reasons why it is the top drive.

I am wondering, what is it with all the "hate" recently for Vertex drives?
I have 2 Vertex 60GB, one in my X340 and one in my MB.
I had the one in my MB since march and never had a problem and I didn't feel any real slowdown over time either.

In the real world, most people would not notice the difference amongst most recent SSD's. There are plenty of technical articles out there that show excellent performance figures for an array of SSD's, in a variety of sizes and at good prices. OCZ make many of them. I bought a OCZ Summit 120GB Samsung-driven SSD 4 months ago and it has transformed my notebook, just as most SSD's will. It is brilliant. Worth every cent of 3X a HDD. My real world performance is instantaneous and silent.
