Higher IOPS or Synchronous memory?

[korrix13]

As the title states, I heard that 4kb random writes are a major part of speed for a SSD. So my question is, 85,000 IOPS random write with asynchronous memory or 60,000 IOPS with synchronous memory?

Also, would the difference really be noticeable with gaming?

I wanted tog et a 90GB ssd. Is the speed difference really worth the $25?

Different size but comparable http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/400?vs=350
Whether the extra speed is worth the money you will have to answer yourself! I belief it is hardly noticeable!

Thanks for the link, definately adding it to favorites. At this point I'm thinking i'll save the $25 and just go with the force 3. Realistically I'd prolly be happier with the money in my pocket than loading screens and boot times being 1-2 seconds faster.

Would have been my decision too!
