On top of the added capacity of course, would Intel 330 (180GB) be a better buy?
I am really torn between Samsung 830 128GB and Intel 330 180GB now... I am probably just a typical user and a casual gamer at the same time... I've read good reviews about Samsung's performance and preferred by some (if not most enthusiasts) since it's not SandForce based...
Capacity-wise, I really find the Intel 180GB just right enough for me with a little more headroom since 128GB might prove to be small eventually but I can live with that, it's controllable anyway (just need to "not" save and install a lot in this drive)... So now I am really torn which one is better for me in terms of performance overall... Between these two, price is not an issue... I can take the more expensive option between these two if it proves to be worth it...
