I'm putting together an ASUS P8P67 Pro system that will be primarily used for gaming. I'm considering these two SSD options:
Vertex 3 120 GB plus a hard drive (probably WD 1TB Black)
Vertex 2 240 GB by itself ($389.00 right now on some sites)
The cost is close to the same for both options. I'm pretty frugal about how many games I have loaded up at once, so 240 GB (option 2) would be plenty for me as a single drive option. So the only real question is, for gaming purposes do I sacrifice too much performance by going with a Vertex 3 120 versus a Vertex 2 240? For the sake of simplicity, I'd prefer to stick with a single drive if it won't affect my gaming (and I suppose OS-responsiveness as well) in any meaningful way.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
