ThomasLentati · Jun 23, 2012, 09:07 AM

Hi, I have a MBP 2,4GHz i5 and I want to upgrade it with an SSD, and I want a Vertex one, but wich on is the best between the Vertex 3 and the 4?

Here is the website: http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-ver....html#overview

Thanks,

Thomas

Might as well get the newer Vertex.

Hayder_Master · Jun 23, 2012, 10:44 AM

if u look for 120gb and over i will say vertex 4 for sure.

DarkOCean · Jun 23, 2012, 11:20 AM

4 is faster.

RejZoR · Jun 23, 2012, 11:23 AM

Vertex 4. It may not have the raw power but should be more reliable (modified Marvell chip) and linear speed on non compressable data.

Is there any reason in particular that you are sticking with OCZ? There are a lot of other good SSD manufacturers out there. Corsair, Samsung, and Sandisk tend to have good drives as well.

m1ch · Jun 26, 2012, 10:30 AM

Consider like Crucial m4 (sweet deal, but only in US atm. I believe), or Samsung 830. Especially m4 rocks in price/gb

Well they all say it's the fastest out there so yeah…

remixedcat · Jun 26, 2012, 04:03 PM

I hear a LOT of horror stores about OCZ drives.... I thought about getting one as they are good bang for the buck but the failure rates are very high. I am going to get a Samsung 830 one instead. I thought also, about a Crucial M4 but I heard of performance issues with Media Jukebox.

ThomasLentati · Jun 26, 2012, 04:05 PM

Which are the most reliable SSD's out there for macs?

v12dock · Jun 26, 2012, 04:58 PM

I believe apple oem ssd's are made by samsung

Aquinus · Jun 26, 2012, 06:02 PM

One of my co-workers just got a Samsung 830 for his 13" Early 2012 MBP. He loves it.

I also have a pair of Corsair Force GTs 120Gb that also go really fast and have been reliable so far.
