Corsair Accelerator Series

[The Halo Don]

I've been looking into getting an SSD, and came acroos the Corsair Accelerator Series. Seems like a really awesome concept.

My question is, is it worth getting the Corsair Accelerator Series 30GB as opposed to a 30GB SSD boot drive?

For $60, I think it's a great deal, but I really dont know too much about SSD's.

There is a more noticeable gain from a boot drive but it is recommended to go to 60-64GB drive for that. If you are getting a 30GB one then using it as cache is the best use for it.

I recommend the OCZ Synapse drives over the Corsair. The reviews seem to agree that the Synapse give virtual SSD accelletation to a HDD. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/52038-ocz-synapse-64gb-ssd-cache-drive-review.html
