ebarone Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Depends on what you want to do. A 120 SSD will most likely fit your games and such, and a 1TB drive is a great backup/media disk. From a speed standpoint it would be far and away the best option. Would you RAID the mechanical drives or leave them as two different ones? If you leave them separate then get the 2 drives, less chance of catastrophic failure. I love my Intel SSD's but they arent the fastest available. OCZ, Corsair, and Crucial are the leaders in SSD's right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowdoggy954 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Don't forget about the Zalman drives. They are almost at the top of the performance list and are cheaper than the OCZ, Intel, Corsair and Crucial drives, and be darned if they don't have the latest firmware already installed so it's just plug and play for less $$$.

dling Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) have you looked at the revodrive? its a pci-e ssd with super read/write speeds. I think it's a raid-0 set up on one card so trim is not supported. I think you can get a 120gig for under 300 dollars. http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology-RevoDrive-PCI-Express-OCZSSDPX-1RVD0120/dp/tags-on-product/B003OBZ9GC Edited February 24, 2011 by dling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD on the PCI-E lane is a GREAT idea. And owning one takes the cake. Total boot time is around 20 seconds. total time booting OS is 6-10 seconds. And this is a drive about 2 gigs away from campacity. As far as how many quaries It requires to get the most out of it im not sure but most all solid state drives on a sata II, III, or HSDL (high speed data link) don't come close to the revo drive or revo drive x2 Edited February 24, 2011 by boinker forgot a tid bit.

dling Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I just ordered one of the revodrives today. Look like my lappy is getting the crucial Edited February 24, 2011 by dling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurman292 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I would go with the 1tb HDD and 120gb SSD because you will be getting speed for the critical programs/apps and storage for everything else. Win/win situation. As far as brand goes, pretty much anything with the sandforce controller in them are going to be great but I would recommend either OCZ Vertex 2 or Mushkin Callisto Enhanced.
