Would this be worth it?

[it24]

I currently have an OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD as my system boot drive. I was just wondering if I would notice a difference in performance, reliability, lifespan, if i were to replace it with a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB.

 

Thanks for any help.

Yes. In longevity definitely. 

 

OCZ has bad quality recently as their Sandforce controllers tend to fail.

The OCZ drive is rated to be faster than the samsung....But the evo is really nice and will last longer

I don't think you could tell the difference in day to day use.

I'd say wait a bit and save up some money for a 250gb or 500gb version so you can actually use it for more than just a bootdrive. There wouldn't be much sense to upgrading the Vertex to a 120gb EVO.

You have a really nice SSD already. you won't really feel a difference. And the Vertex 4 drive has no reliability issuses...

Yes. In longevity definitely.

The vertex 4 doesn't use a Sandforce controller, I don't know if that would make it more reliable though.

I wouldn't say it was worth it until it the Vertex broke.

Nope it wouldnt

Ok, thanks for the help. It looks like i will just stay with the vertex for now, but I will back it up every so often.

yep, I'd upgrade only if it would start to fail

i dont think changing it would be worth it overall. but if u had neither and had to choose then i wouldve got the evo

Yes, at the time of getting the Vertex, the EVO was not yet released.
