douglatins · Nov 9, 2012, 06:00 PM

Is now a good time to buy 2 128 gb Vertex 4 drives for 160 bucks both?
Or should i wait for better tech or get a Samsung or Intel one?

Well there was that awesome Samsung 830 128GB deal for $69 or $79 or whatever is was...that could come back 'round. Offhand that sounds decent though some will come in hear talking about OCZ "reliability" issues and such. Can't say I have any good firsthand or even secondhand examples of that though and have owned a couple OCZ SSDs. I think it's mostly FUD, myself.
