Hey all (this is kind of a double post but I've revised it),
I'm working on a gaming/general usage build and want some SSD storage. I'm not sure what is the best choice for me for spending about 150$ to keep it in my budget. My system will include:
MSI P67A-GD80
Core i5-2500K
2 x 4 GB Corsair RAM
6950 2GB video card.
In my current PC I have a 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 and have been happy with it. I would like to add some more space but I also wouldn't mind a bit better performance (it'd be great to utilize the SATA3 ports on my mobo). Unfortunately, I can't have both.
I've narrowed down my options to the following:
Crucial Real SSD M4 64 GB: $115 CAD
OCZ Extended Vertex 2 120GB: $150 CAD After 30$ MIR
For the listed prices, which of these offers me the best options. Is the performance of the SATA3 drives substantial enough to divert from the doubled storage capacity of the Vertex 2?
Please feel free to answer any of these question and to offer general advice.
Thanks in advance!
