SSD dilemna

[imadsani]

I need help in deciding which SSD to go for. I see 3 options locally available

• Corsair240GB GTX NEUTRON SERIES PKR 30,000
• Toshiba Canvio Rare 256GB PKR 24,500
• Intel SSD 530 Series 240GB PKR 25,500

All three have MLC's, i've research on the first two and both have decent reviews, haven't read a lot about the Intel so have no idea how good that is.

Anyone here have any experience with these? Any recommendations?

128 seems to limited, I'd rather dish out for higher capacity early on

If u have the $$$ then the Corsair Neutron.....is the way to go..
its damn fast..
awsome in read and write speeds..

^ reviews point out that the GTX will only differentiate itself under enterprise intensive workloads, particularly being used as a scratchdisk

i recently bought gaming rig and u can see my post here
http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f139/my-new-gaming-rig-192004/#post2324813

i searched alot in ssd , all corsair , samsung and intel models so heres my review

corsair and intel 530 are same spec in read and write maybe lil difference

corsair neutron gtx is like 6 month old released
intel 530 released in octuber you can check info in newegg.com and read their review , and it doesnt list in any top 10 benchmark because it is new

so another advantage is that corsair have 1 year , well they said 1 year here but in official website they said 5 years but we are living here and not outside
as for intel it has 5 years warranty here and it is written in official website as well , and the read and write speed is same as corsair

i bought intel 530 120gb ssd and i think it is enough for me , for os and 1 game and i ahve 45gb space left after installing all my driver and programs in my ssd

hope this help you , if u need anymore info please do let me know

I recommend Intel.

Several companies make good SSD but I personally trust Intel in this respect. My experience is not misplaced, Intel SSD have reliable and highly tolerant to unfavorable developments.

Appreciate the response. I myself have been leaning towards the Intel because of the 5 year warranty

Honestly, given the choice, I'd have gone for Intel. IMX was selling them at great prices here some time ago, not sure if the ystill are. Great drive, very reliable, and a shit load of warranty. Win-win situation.
