Hello,
I have searched around for a long time, and the material written on SSDs are either incomplete, too technical, or out of date. I haven't found a sure answer for my question, which is: what is the best performance SSD for gaming and operating system speed? I would like to buy a ~120gb SSD, the cost of it is not an issue. The most important feature for me would be gaming performance and general operating system performance (snappiness, boot time, etc). I don't perform a lot of large file transfers, but when I do, I would like them to be fast (although not as important). My computer is a Sager NP8150 (with 6gb/s sata), which means the Vortex 3 is off the list due to compatibility issues. The most interesting-looking drives to me have been the patriot wildfire, kingston hyperx, and muskin chronos deluxe. Not sure what the difference between the Pyro and Wildfire are, they both seem pretty much the same. Also, if there is a new SSD coming out soon I think it would be worth the wait depending on how long until release.
What do you think? Any clear winners?
