So I'm looking for a SSD for my new gaming PC and these are the three options I have. I don't have any other options as I am buying these from a friend, who is buying them from a supplier for a cheaper price. These are the only SSDs the supplier have within my price range (under R1500 - roughly $150) and that have over 100gb of space. I live in South Africa, so we use Rands instead of Dollars. $1 roughly equals R10.
These are the SSDs they have:
OCZ VERTEX 450 128GB 2.5" at R1311 ($131.00)
OCZ VECTOR 128GB 2.5" at R1480 ($148.00)
CORSAIR NEUTRON GTX 120GB, 2.5" at R1831 ($183.10)
The Neutron GTX is a bit over my budget, but if it's better than the other 2 by a large margin, I might overspend (even if it has 8gb less space
)
Also this was in the descriptions (amongst a whole bunch of other stuff)
OCZ Vertex 450 128GB 2.5": SATA6G SSD, Read: 525MB/s, Write: 290MB/s, Random Read 4KB: 75,000 IOPS, Random Write 4KB: 70,000 IOPS, Seek Time .1ms, Indilinx Barefoot 3 M10, 20nm Multi-Level Cell (MLC) Flash, Native TRIM support, Lightweight 115g, Shock Resistant 1500G, RAID Support, MTBF: 2 million hours - 3 year warranty
OCZ Vector 128GB 2.5": SATA6G SSD, Read: 550MB/s, Write: 400MB/s, Random Write 4KB: 90,000 IOPS, Maximum 4K Random Write: 95,000 IOPS, Indilinx Barefoot 3, Seek Time .1ms, Native TRIM support, Lightweight 115g, 7mm ultra-slim, Shock Resistant 1500G, RAID Support, MTBF: 2 million hours - 5 year warranty
Corsair Neutron GTX, 120GB, 2.5": SATA6G SSD, 7mm slim, with 24nm toshiba Toggle NAND flash, LAMD LM87800 8-channel controller optimized for large media file with high IOPS, built-in hardware AES-128/256 encryption, 256MB DDR2-800 cache, read : 555MB/s / write 330MB/s, Random Read/Write 4K IOPS : 87000 / 80000, with BGC (Background Garbage Collection) + built-in EDC/ECC, 5 years warranty
If I understand this correctly, wouldn't the vector be the best of the bunch? If so why is the Neutron GTX more expensive?
Thanks in Advance
