Hello,
I have never had an SSD before but I realise that they are much quicker than mechanical HDD's. I have been looking at buying a 60gb SSD to store the OS on. Anyway, my question is:
OCZ have the Vertex series SSD's. They have the Vertex 3 and 4, both of which are SATA III 6GB/s (correct me if I'm wrong). From the information I can see, the Vertex 3 60GB is cheaper AND faster on read and write speeds than the Vertex 4. Why is the Vertex 4 more expensive, and does it have any benefit over the Vertex 3?
Here are some specs I have found:
Vertex 3 60GB: Read - 535MB/s, Write - 480MB/s
Vertex 4 64GB: Read - 460MB/s, Write - 220MB/s
Again, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. Also, I would be really grateful for a fast response, since I am ordering my PC on Wednesday.
And if there are any other alternatives that are quicker than the Vertex 3 for similar money, please let me know as well. Thanks in advance
