Can you recommend any good 250gb ssd for gaming?
I am just starting to look at solid state drives and still not sure which ones are good.

Hi there

it depends on your PC setup and how far up the SATA food chain you are (higher is better) - bt in my view the real answer is: you do not use SSD for gaming, as in most cases it does not bring a lot over the traditional HDD - and it will fill up quickly if you install a lot of big games..

Personally i use the SSD as my system drive (win7) and have a HDD for all games and files that can be moved there - this means that the system boots in record time and any temp gamefiles are saved to the ssd and therby very fast. - if you go this way a 100USD SSD will do fine for you. lso, be sure to read all the tips for the ssd: diable page file, diable restore function, diable defrag etc. etc.

Thanks a lot. I am hoping to use the ssd as a system drive and maybe have one heavy game on it. Any different ssd features I should be aware of?
