What SSD?

Hi

Is there a great difference in performance between the Kingston Hyperx 120gb and Intel 510 120gb ssd?

thanks...

The two are pretty similar, however, i don't think you would notice any difference in speeds. Unless you had two of the same systems one with one of the two ssd's, then you may notice a a second or so difference.

Have you considered the 120gb Intel 320 ssd? I don't know what the price difference is, but it will still give you very good performance.

I'd stick with SATA 3. The intel are supposed to be more reliable and work a treat with the intel controllers on the mobo. However, the kingston ones are supposed to be very good. The main difference is price but the intel one will fit better with the laptop than the kingston.

Thanks guys, I have decided to go with the Intel SSD, purely because I needed a fast build and the Kingston Hyperx wasn't in stock.
I did some research and it appears that the Intel is the more reliable, however Benchmark wise it is slightly slower and more expensive!

I'm using a Vortex 2 in an old laptop and that is pretty quick, but not as quick as the Intel, so I'm sure i will be happy with it...

I decided to go with the Kkingston after reading not very favorable reviews of the Intel drives and very favorable ones of the Kingston ones.

The Kingston was pretty much the fastest consumer drive available when I ordered it.

The Kingston ones are faster but the intel ones are more reliable. I'd suggest getting a sata 6gb/s drive.
