I just bought a new PC on a fairly limited budget. There were 2 options, either a used Intel SSD (I don't even know its model yet) or a new Kingston SSDNow v300. Both are 120GB. I got the Intel one for $15 cheaper. The tech dude said that the Intel one is higher in performance, and the new one will cost me almost double the price of the used one.
I want to know if that's legit or not, any software I can use to benchmark this SSD, and if possible compare it to the Kingston v300. It is still possible to return it.
On a side note, the front fan of my case is too loud. I can't control its speeds, is it because it's connected directly to the PSU? Can I control it if it's connected to the MOBO or do I need a fan controller?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Kingston UV400 is also in the same price range, so that's an option too.
