Hey all, I am looking into getting a new SSD.
As seen in my sig, I have 2 x OCZ Vertex SSD, one 30GB, the other 60GB.
What I plan to do, is use the new SSD to put Ubuntu 12.0.4 on this main system, where I can check if it is all compatible and all that. While not touching my Windows 7 SSD. In case I ever need to come back to it.
Now, since Ubuntu does not take up much room as Windows, I think a 30GB will go nicely. But as the 60GB are around the same price, I might as well get the 60GB.
Now comes the second question. Should I get a SATA III or SATA II? As I understand it, other than read/write speeds, there is really not a whole lot of difference between the two.
I like my last 2 x OCZ Vertex SSD, but if the price range or the failure rate is less, I am willing to go elsewhere.
I plan to buy this sometimes next month. So I know prices fluctuate, just to get a standpoint.
