best 120gb SSD to buy?

[MuscleFlex]

.. however, at one year old to the week I went to boot my PC only to find the drive was no longer recognised by the BIOS, I tired all sorts of new cables and connectors and ports on my mainboard, nothing worked so RMA created and it was posted back, 2 days later a new one arrived at my door (go Scan), lets hope it lasts longer than the last one....

I wouldn't get another OCZ drive

I'm looking at the Corsair F3 120 LN43989 / LN39467 or Crucial M4 128 LN39099 for my new laptop.

I just want to know why you sent it to Scan instead of OCZ? you've had it a year...

I've had a 60GB Corsair F60 and upgraded to a 120GB Corsair Force Series 3 and wouldn't be without it, great drive.

i have force GT, samsung 830, intel x80 and an OCZ petrol (not tested yet).

The intel is the oldest drive and it seems to be running quite slow if im honest... might need to give that one a reformat. In real life, the Force GT is the quickest, followed closely by the Samsung and im yet to try the petrol.

Build quality, packaging, bundled equipment, software and physical appearance wise, the samsung blows them all out of the water!

i dont think the petrol will come anywhere near the speeds of the other 2 - from what i have read, the petrol is supposed to be an entry level with budget price in mind.
my force gt is doing great!

Indeed. I got the ForceGT a few weeks ago, its a amazing drive, I'm finding its faster than my previous SSD (Cruicial M4). I also bought a Force 3 for my laptop, great drive.

If you have the money then get the ForceGT, if your on a smaller budget grab the Force 3

I have the Samsung 830 series 128GB SSD, and it is incredibly fast.

This is the drive I am going to buy
120GB Corsair Force GT

If speed and performance is important to you, then you wont go wrong with this one.

Great reviews all round, no troublesome set up issues that I am aware of. Better to pay £25-£30 extra for this one rather than one of the cheaper ones as they can be a real headache.

Please do not recommend competitor's products here in the Corsair section.

Samsung 830 series 128GB SSD is the best imo

The Neutron GTX walks all over it.

The Neutron GTX walks all over it.

A slight exaggeration there but given your bias Il let you off ;-)
Problem with the Neutron is it doesn't have the same proven reliability.

[Yellowbeard]

Of course I am biased but then I work for Corsair, this is the Corsair section, and the reviews for Neutron GTX are fantastic. It uses a proven controller from a proven company with a good history in the enterprise/server sector and high quality NAND.

Indeed, i dont disagree the points, im just saying this specific drive needs to stand the test of time in the same way that the samsung drives have done so far.

The Samsungs didnt exactly explode into the scene, it took them time to gain traction. As long as there is no suprises im sure the Neutron will be the same, as you said the reviews so far have been top notch.

Corsair Neutron would be your best bet I think..
