SSD for under £60 - Amazon

[PeteSmith]

I have a £60 voucher to spend at Amazon on a SSD for my slightly old but faithful IP35 Pro / Q6600 desktop. Not sure which one to buy and would appreciate some suggestions. I have short listed a few:

Corsair 60GB SSD Corsair Nova Series 2
Corsair CSSD-C60GB Accelerator Series 60GB Solid State Drive
OCZ AGT3-25SAT3-120G Agility 3 120GB SATA III 2.5 inch SSD
OCZ OCT1-25SAT2-128G Octane S2 128GB SATA II Internal 2.5 Inch SSD

To replace my current system disk - WD SATA II HDD, running Windows 7. Looking for stability and a performance boost.

Thanks

Is your mobo sata3 compatible?

with 60GB you'll run out of space pretty quick if you install all your programs on the C drive. Go for 128gb at least.

I think you should definitely consider drivers bigger than 60GB as I used one when SSDs were far more expensive and it doesn't go a long way really.

Personally, if I had a voucher I'd add a bit of money and go for a M4 or wait as SSD deals seem to be popping up all the time at the moment. Got the samsung 830 256gb for less than £140 last week through Amazon + cashback.

No sata2. I don't mind spending a bit more so long as there's not a bottleneck with the mobo.

Add in £20 and get this:

I mean your MB will be a bottleneck, but surely you will upgrade that before long anyway?

[PeteSmith]

No plans to upgrade anything other than the system drive at this time. No reason to really.

I ordered one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004W2JKZI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Next on the list is replacing all four HDD's in my NAS with larger disks.

it wont be the fastest but the octane will likely the the most reliable as its not sandforce based
