Good day TPU! I've decided to buy an SSD instead of upgrading my monitor (simply because monitors are more expensive ) and I would like you guys to help me select the right SSD to buy. As always, I only have a limited number of brands/models to choose from. The software that I would like to put on the SSD are of course the ones that I mostly use (Adobe Master Collection/Games) and the OS so I'm estimating (based on the free space on my current main HDD) that I'll be needing around 100gb. The following are the brands/models that are available for me to choose from:
120gb/128gb (Prices are all pretty much the same and cost slightly more than half as much as the 240gb/256gb counterparts):
OCZ AGILITY4 Series 128GB SATA III
OCZ VERTEX 4 Series 128GB SATA III
Corsair Force Series GT 120GB SATA III
180gb (Price is around the middle):
Corsair Force Series GT 180GB SATA III 2.5 SSD
240gb/256gb (Prices are all pretty much the same and cost slightly less than 2 x 120gb/128gb counterparts):
OCZ AGILITY4 Series 256GB SATA III 2.5 SSD
OCZ VERTEX 4 Series 256GB SATA III 2.5 SSD
Corsair Force Series GT 240GB SATA III 2.5 SSD
Would a 120gb/128gb SSD be ok? I'll be very much close to filling it up. Would there be an effect on the lifespan/performance of the SSD? I could go for the 240gb/256gb models but if the 120gb/128gb/180gb models would be ok then I could save up the extra money for a new monitor.
