Hi all,
Been a while, i have done a few builds learnt a few tricks and have had a few laughs
I am looking at doing a LGA2011 build later next year but wanted to update my current SSD array in my workstation to a more later gen, something with better overall performance as the current 3xP128 first gen Corsair SSD are loosing there grunt (tried a few things to clean then up but you really cant beat the later tech products).
I want to get 2 x SATA3 SSD with Trim support, most have it now so ill be ready for next year when Intel releases it's RST with trim support in raid (as for now i will do what i have been doing and let the drives garbage collection work its magic once a week in the BIOS startup).
I am looking for drives that show good performance in terms of access times, fast random reads of small blocks, boot times, program opening and reliability with good support, i am not to worried about Sequential Read/Write as most drives are over 300MB/s anyway.
I have read a few reviews/benchmarks and i am really leaning to these drives:
-Micron RealSSD P300 (not sure if this drive is still available? and aren't they similar to Crucial RealSSD C300?)
-OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS
-Crucial RealSSD C400
-Kingston HyperX
-Corsair Force GT
I also noticed that some drives perform better in raid0 than others, like getting close to 100% performance gain but loosing slightly on access times due to the raid controller, i will also only be using the on board controller on my x58 ud5 and my future x79 ud5.
I am not looking to buy the 2 drives till jan or feb 2012 so if anyone knows of anything hot on the cards that maybe getting released in Q1 2012, i might hold my horses and save my $$ till then, i am willing to drop up to $300 on each 120GB drive.
Any ideas and suggestions will be welcomed.
Cheers
Dave
