South African SSD price roundup
It’s never been a better time to invest in solid state drives, but what does your money buy today?
Upgrading my laptop's hdd to ssd has made the single biggest improvement I've ever experienced on any type of upgrade. I know they're very expensive, but it's worth the money.
I got the Corsair Neutron 240GB on Joker's recommendation. Very happy with it.
Here is his recommendation for those interested to know which brand to go for:

The prices don't seem to have gone down - I paid about the same for my Vertex 4....and that was like half a year ago.
Are these any good?

This would make the world of difference to me and my work. The lag on my laptop is becoming more and more of a pain. No high end programmes, but the time it takes to boot up and open documents and spreadsheets is painful.Quote:

I think those use the SF controller which is apparently not as reliable as the MLC controllers. I'm paraphrasing Joker here. :) Perhaps the Neutron for R400 more would be a better bet?Quote:
