Hi all,
I am thinking of adding an SSD for the OS and apps in my rig. I believe my computer is only compatible with up to SATA 2 so I guess I can't get a SATA 3 SSD.
in that case, I would like to know which one you believe is the best SATA 2 performancewise.
I heared the OCZ Vertex 2 is very good. Is there anyone better? Is the process of installing the OS etc on an SSD the same as with a normal HDD? Do I need to update any firmwares?
sorry for the barrage of questions! Thanks in advance to whoever helps
