Hello there,
few days ago I've decided to upgrade some of my stuff, and I've decided to get a SSD.
First of all, I use my PC for games, and I've encountered several questions, when I was trying to pick the right SSD for me.
Seems there is large number of brands out there offering large amount of many products , which vary in price, performance, size etc. I'd like to ask some questions, that will be hopefully answered, thanks in advance.
At this moment I am using the Intel Socket 1366 Intel X58 Rampage III Extreme motherboard(chipset ver.13, BIOS verison 1102, 9/23/2010) and i plan to use the PC for gaming mostly , and I plan to have SSD for OS and games, so the other HDD will be used as storage. I am planning to buy only 1 SSD within price range 150 - 230 Euro.
What should be the most suitable size of SSD for me?
I've read that my mobo delivers up to 6.0Gb/s data transfer rates. Should i get a SSD that can profit with that?
Are there any specials "moves" in Bios /on board/in Win needed after SSD installation on that specific mobo?
Is the BIOS flash needed aswell?
Are there any products that should be avioded exactly for that type of Mobo?
Are there any products that should be avioded ,because of the bad reputation/bad tech.?
What brand 'd u reccomend, and why?
I am really appreciate the help, and thanks again .
