SSD Suggestions

[The Little Guy]

I want to upgrade my current HD to a SSD, I have been looking and I am not sure which one I should get.

 

This is the one that sticks out most to me:

Any suggestions? Should I get this one or a different one?

That is possibly the best $ to GB ratio SSD around at the moment that I have seen. Get it. I installed a 60GB OCZ SSD (this one to be precise) as a primary drive in a computer for a colleague of mine and the speed increase is phenomenal. SSD's might be expensive but when you can get from stone cold off to checking your emails within 30 seconds, it soon pays off I think.

 

However, if you're looking to save a bit of money, do as I did for my colleague. I installed the cheaper 60GB SSD for him as the primary drive and then a 500GB HDD (half the price of the SSD) as a secondary drive. The operating system and all programs are installed on the SSD and all the files are saved to the HDD. The computer is incredibly fast.

 

Then again, if you aren't too bothered about saving money and want a really fast computer, you could still run that set-up described and then spend the money you saved (plus a little extra) on an intel i7-2600k CPU.

 

But yeah, that is definitely a good SSD you have found. Comes in at just over a dollar a GB, which for an SSD these days is very good value. Also, I know for a fact that Corsair are one of the best for producing RAM, so it goes to say that they should also be good for SSD's. They're practically just large RAM chips
