Get the best looking one at a reasonable price. You are probably confused by: This ssd has 10 more mbps then that ssd, but that ssd has more random IOPS then this ssd. ....

You NEVER get to see the 400-500+mbps you see in benchmarks. Because of 

1. Slower storage (HDD/Flash)

2. Cpu overhead

 

OH and please do some mroe research, there must be a 120 gb ssd somewhere that fits your budget.

60 gb just aint cutting it today! You have to calculate in updates, windows defender and such. They all have to be on the primary drive.

The one that gives you that warm feeling inside. 3 or 4.

try to invest in a 120+ gb ssd instead. If i remember correctly, (please correct me if I'm wrong) SSD has a limited number of reads and writes. so it's better to have a larger size so the ssd could undergo much more reads and writes before dying.

[dizmo]

I'd go for a 120gb. Just save up a little more money, it'll really be worth it in the end. Lower capacity drives also don't have the same performance as the higher capacity ones.

You'll quickly run out of room on a 64gb drive, as others have said.

It's not nearly that bad. I highly doubt anyone would ever reach the cap, unless they were trying really hard.

I've ran a 60gb OCZ SSD in my system for the last 4-5 years. It's been through hell. Constant PhotoShop writes, downloads of massive amounts of files, etc etc.

Still runs like a dream. It'll be going into a friends rig as a dedicated scratch disk soon.

[mony2011]

Well ...as you all guys recommend .. if i go with 120gb it will be one of those :

 

 

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 

 

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB 

 

Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB

 

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

 

Corsair Force Series LS 120GB

 

i dont know why but i just love the Corsair Ones....so i will see your Recommendations  

[TheGeekster]

Samsung or one of the HyperX ones, used 'em before and they haven't let me down yet

[mony2011]

okay then i think i will put the Samsung one in mind 

 

i have another question which The Better HDD (plus the ssd) :

 

Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 

 

or 

 

Western Digital Caviar Black WD3001FAEX 3TB 

[Guest DollarPC]

Kingston VSeries SSD Now

[DirkW]

Kingston VSeries SSD Now

 

So you recommend him the V300... the only drive OP really should avoid at all cost... why?

[Dimwitted]

Why not the MX100?

Damn that's good! I know most ssds ("entry" level) has a warranty for 3 years.

That's basically what I do with my 60gb OCZ Vertex 2. I've got it set up my systems scratch disk

Agree, i have a 120 gig SSD for "C-Drive / windwos" and with updates, some basic music and pic files, word etc that windwos seems to like to put onto "C" then you use up 120 easy, sometimes its like embedded files, game save files that make automatic small file installs to "C" even if you install the main game or application to another or "D-Drive" so yeah for sure 120gig SSD for O/S is a smart idea.

If you are on a real real tight budget you can just get one drive like a "1 TB" or even "500gb" all in one hybrid SSHD (hybrid) drive from Seagate and i think WD makes one now, that will boot windows faster than a normal HDD, and then all other apps and games etc will be on the main HDD portion of the drive and it keeps its simple to one drive or you can partition it into other sections.

[mony2011]

Well as you suggest... i will Go with a 120GB SSD and it will be one of those :

 

Adata XPG SX900 128GB

 

or 

 

Samsung 840 EVO Series 120GB

 

And which The Better HDD (plus the ssd) :

 

1. Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 

 

or 

 

2. Western Digital Caviar Black WD3001FAEX 3TB  

[LiamApex]

samsung 850pro 500gb

While this is theoretically true, it just depends on how many centuries of use you are trying to get out of it before upgrading...

Haha, oddly enough that's the same SSD that I have.

 

Damn that's good! I know most ssds ("entry" level) has a warranty for 3 years. 

Oh I'm sure it's out of warranty by now. But most drives will last much much longer than their warranty suggests is all I'm saying

[Simply nacho]

I am personally a fan of the Western digital caviar black Because it does have a pretty high rpm. And I also have 1 in my rig and runs pretty good for a hdd

And which The Better HDD (plus the 120 GB ssd) :

1. Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB

or

2. Western Digital Caviar Black WD3001FAEX 3TB

Personally I'd go Western Digital.

It was a good ssd despite the severe firmware issues.

The WD Black is a high speed, performance disk. Do you actually need this if you are using an SSD for things that require speed? I would be tempted to get the cheapest WD or Seagate HDD in the capacity you need.
