Best SSD for 4530s

[musiclee]

what to look for in an SSD as far as latest, fastest?

is Crucial the way to go?
and which to stay away from? i hear OCZ are problematic?

should i get something like: Crucial CT128M4SSD2 m4 2.5" Solid State Drive - 128GB, SATA 6Gb/s
i hear these can do 500 mb/sec read with latest firmware

what you guys using & recommend?

i have a OCZ and no issues, but this last generation seems to have som problems..

i'd go with intel 320 series, performance is good enought and liability seems to be the better around (5 year warranty included)

Crucial M4 seems to be the choice in price/performance/trustability in this generation, but i'd prefer slightly lower speeds and longer life with the intel.

thanks emaf

i just wasnt sure what worked best with 4530s, OSX, WIN7 or both on drive...

Crucial M4 128GB is the most optimal solution.

eugene thanks, i will look into it

does 4530s take advantage of m4's sataIII, 6Gbps Interface??

Yep..don't forget TRIM support. Better through the terminal commands....

I've a Crucial M4 256 and it's fantastic!

i went with the patriot wildfire. faster then the above listed, and cheaper

 

[ovb1]

Where did you buy a Patriot Wildfire for less than the M4!!

I can only find the Wild fire for over £200 for 120GB?

The M4 is £245 for the 245GB model.....but yes it is much faster on paper....

i thought the m4 was TOP notch
