Hello, I have a recently built SB desktop and I have been looking at putting a SSD in the mix. I have a ASUS z68 pro, 8gb gskill ram, 500 gb caviar blue in computer. I have been looking at benchmarks and I realize sandforces are a good technology but they do have a few limiting factors that are a turn off. I have looked at the toms "Best SSD for the money" and I keep looking at the 128gb Crucial M4 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148442). But now OCZ has released the 128gb Octane (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227767). ALSO, Corsair recently released their 128 gb Performance Pro (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233226).
They all seem to be focusing in on the pros of the M4 so which should I get? There aren't a lot of benchmarks for the last two in the 128gb category so I imagine performance will be weaker than their larger capacity siblings. Should I just wait a little longer for benchmarks to come out? Or just buy the M4 today and be done?
Im mostly going to use the computer for general use, some gaming (nvidia 560 ti) and some movie transcoding and around $200 would be my price range.
Im also up for any other suggestions.
