Which ssd drive to get?

[smoggie]

Ok, my system set up
quad intel core i5 750
8gb Corsair XMS CMX4G
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
1Tb Samsung SpinPoint F3
ATI Radeon HD 5700

My set up is nearly 3 years old and plan to keep this for another 2 years.I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive to a ssd one. My m/board is sata 2 and I'm not sure whether to get a sata 2 drive or sata 3. I understand if i bought a sata 3 drive it will only run at sata 2 speeds.Your thought are appreciated

Hi!

Get Flash SSD Kingston V+200 2.5, 120GB, SATA 3 is very cheap
I have it for 1 year and i never had problems with it.
My boot time on Windows 8 is 11 sec.

thanx for replies. Thanx Cod3wax, I will have a look into that. Ordered a crucial m4

[smoggie]

I had 2 out of 3 OCZ Vertex 2 160GB SSD's fail after around 18 months so i switched to a Corsair Force GS 480GB. After 5 months in a Dell E6510 laptop it is still running extremely well. At the time it was the best price/performance ratio for me .... Boot up is around 30 seconds, however, it only has 60GB of free space so i need to do some tidying up .... also the second 1TB Samsung running at 5400 slows it down somewhat ...enjoy the crucial M4!

+1 for Corsair.

I have bought 3 so far and I was really satisfied with price/performance ratio
