Hey guys I am looking around for a SSD and I am wondering if to get the Intel 730 240GB or the MX100 256GB, This will be my boot drive on my new gaming rig, The 730 has worse write performance than the MX100, and reads are about the same, So Which should I get?

 

Thanks!

$10**

SSD's are all pretty much the same at this point. Get whatever is cheaper and has more storage.

I'll probaly get the MX100 then it also has a faster read/write IOPS in some situations

Hardwarecanucks says that the 512GB version is significantly better. I would also recommend that, if you can stretch the budget.

Yeah I know it is a lot better, but I can't stretch my budget more because I am getting 2 HDD's as well and it all ads up.
