My Vertex 2 died its of sudden death syndrom.
Because Amazon is great even after 5-6 months I get money back (apparently all of it which surprises me positively, but still remains to be seen), I decided to go for a different SSD of the same price.
Now I am wondering which of the current SSDs does best on my still SATA II 2010 MBP.
I looked at some benches on storagereview and am undecided between a crucial m4 and an intel 330. OCZ Octane seems also great value and shouldn't have Sandforce Vertex like reliability but it sucks at power consumption.
The latter would be cheaper if I go for 180GB but Sandforce is much better at high IO. Server workload which I do often need when testing stuff locally.
With the m4 I would go straight for 256GB which would finally solve all space issues my 180GB vertex 2 worked but more space would be more comfortable. No speed difference with incompressible stuff is very nice.
Does anybody have SATA 2 benches for these two drives. Or similar ones like Vertex 3, Agility 3. m4, Intel 330 or 520.
AS SSD and xbench?
