Hello all, new to ssd, want to start using one to improve speed of loading games and gaming. What's the best value ssd currently? And the amount of storage I should get? Want some guidance and recommendations! Thanks!

Budget? .........

crucial m500 240gb from amazon is the best $/gb.

Locally cheapest think is Kingston V300 , the 120 gb is S$109 and the 240 gb is S$199.

Or you can buy from Amazon the Intel 530 Series 240GB selling US$135.99 with free shipping to Singapore or the Crucial M500 240GB selling US$119.99 and Kingston 120gb and 240 gb also selling cheaper than here(think need spend about US$125 than got free shipping)...

My Recommendation will be Strontium HAWK SSD. OCZ was good. Now since company no more, not so sure..
Get 240GB. Prices have dropped

crucial m500 from amazon has warranty in SG?
Intel has international 5 years warranty, right?
What abt Strontim's warranty?

What abt Strontim's warranty?

As far as I see from their website its 3 year limited international warranty

crucial m500 240gb. should i buy local or from amazon?
more concerned abt warranty, should anything happen to the drive. Have to send back at own cost to USA?

 

[jtjt00]

Yes, send back to US for RMA.

Is the Crucial M550 good? Price: $239 for 256GB.

Looking for 1 too. Have a samsung 840 pro from amazon, but seems there is a big drop in prices over the past weeks. Now tempted to upgrade for my other desktop

SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB USD$119.90
Kingston Digital 240GB SSDNow V300 USD$119.99
Crucial M500 240GB USD$114.29

Any recommendations between these 3? I'm inclined towards the M500.
