Buying Opinion SSD

[Rodrigo_26]

So I'm thinking of buying a regular SSD for my laptop just as a boot drive. I came across this Corsair Force Sata 3 60GB SSD, for 20€. Is it worth it? Thanks!

Get at least a 120GB , 60's are a waste and fill quickly , then performance drops.

60GB is a bit tight for your Windows install, Page file, hibernation file and user profile without some serious constant management.

I have more than enough storage without being in the SSD. Im just asking if, just for a boot drive, would it be a good pick

Boot drive for OS should be fine , will fill up a little with updates.

First of all, you will not get a useable 60gb.
It is always something less.
Many things default to the C drive so you will need more than the minimal requirements.
.
When you are near full on a ssd, performance on updates drops since there are no free update nand blocks. Moreover, excessive updating will reduce the life of the ssd.

Do yourself a favor and buy a good quality 120gb ssd.
