I bought the OCZ OCZSSD2-1SUM120G Summit Series 120GB SATA II Solid State Drive , While Amazon sells it for $398, I was able to pick one up for just under $300 with a $20 rebate directly from OCZ. The specs are fantastic :Min Trans Rate 160 mb/sec;max trans rate 194 mb/sec; access time 0.2 ms. I used this as the boot disc for Windows Vista Ultimate ,and it cut down my start up time by 2/thirds, and knowing how slow Vista is to load, this is remarkable. I plan to use more SSD drives as boot discs only, therefore , you only really need to purchase one between 30 and 120mb total size, while using conventional SATA 7200 rpm drives to store data on.
The interface it the same as the sata drives you are used to, and connection is a snap, you do not have to format these drives, and in fact you should not attempt to defrag or low-level format this type of drive , for fear of destroying its efficiency and speed.
I am impressed and I believe you will be also. |
