SSD Pricing

[SelfBuilder]

I am looking to upgrade my system by getting a 120 or 128 GB SSD for my boot drive. I'm looking at the OCZ Vector for $130, Samsung 840 Pro for $150, and Vertex 3 for $110. Which makes the most sense for me to get?

Edit: I found an ebay listing for the Vertex 3 like new for 70$. Does that change much? Also, a new 840 Pro from a trusted seller costs 132.45.

If it were me I'd go for the Vector. The performance is very similar to the 840 Pro and noticeably better than the Vertex 3. Tom's Hardware's chart shows that the 840 Pro has an average data rate of 202.66MB/s, and the Vertex 3 has 145.30MB/s. The Vector 128GB is not listed but other reviews have shown that it's similar to the 840 Pro. For $20 less and similar performance, I'd go for it.

Wow was going to say the same, but I was beaten at it! :D

Well. There you go, another vote for the Vector. Two opinions is better than one.

I would go for the Vector also. :)
