Any help for a good SSD relation Price/perfomance and good choice?

Thanks in advanced.

Intel G2 would be my choice at this point in time.

Yeah. we'll have to see what happens to all of the price tags when the intel G2 is back on the virtual shelves

zorkmta · 08-13-2009, 02:33 PM

Ok, then G2 is a main option, only have to wait because on newegg out of stock.

another question, is G1 or G2 are better?

sgogeta4 · 08-13-2009, 02:37 PM

G2 is better of course! Don't need to cross post in the Lenovo forum, so I'll just reply here.

OCZ and Crucial both use indilinx and should react similar to the intel (Not as good) but faster seq writes, many firmware revisions
Samsung slower random writes but faster seq writes, best power consumption, $479 for 256gb, very stable, an over all "slower feel" possibly than the other two

New samsungs not slower than vertex:

we can't read japanese, so it's hard to even find out which one is which in those benchmarks.

and still, samsung feels slower. that got reported not just by me

(but how much have experienced samsung and another ssd (or two))
