Hi guys.
I'm in need of some SSD recommendation and tips as I'm fairly close to jumping into the <1ms seek time bandwagon
I've been looking into a fair amount of SSD reviews. A few brands I checked were Corsair, Kingston, Intel and Samsung.
Intel seems to be a bit pricy and less Random 4K speeds.
Samsung with their lack of write performance troubles me and their Pro series are overpriced and not much better.
Kingston and Corsair seem to be the best of all 4, with huge linear and random R/W performance, of course at a bit of extra cost. But performance/cost ratio seems the best.
In the end for the theme I want to fit in my case (red, white and black) Corsair's Force GS series seem the most adequate but not a requirement of course, I'm open for suggestions!
Now, here's the question, I need a bit of space as my system drive, right now I'm using 200GB of 483GB. Surely I could be using less, I have a few games installed...
I'm in between buying 2 120GB or 1 240GB, will there be any noticeable performance with a RAID0 configuration and is the extra cost worth it?
