I go for intel..

Intel 510 CMI

 

[noinimod]

CMI in terms of speed, yes. Reliability-wise, Intel is the best. See which factor is more important to you. To me, no point having blazing fast drive but problematic.

If price wasn't a concern, vertex 3 max IOPS is the clear choice

i got crucial c300 120gb at $199 (but in US$)

me too

Hi guys, I've heard other than intel ssd, other brands seem to have problems with the 67 or 68 series mobo from intel. Is it resolved?

Looking to buy a new mobo, and intending to get some ssd in the future

Thanks!

There are basically three groups of popular 120GB SSDs
1. Intel X25M 120GB - slow but steady
2. Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB
3. SandForce based SSDs Corsair Force, OCZ Vertex 2, OCZ Agility 2, OWC Mercury Extreme Pro, Patriot Inferno, G.SKILL Phoenix Pro, etc

What are the prices for each of them, any idea?

 

[GUOYIN2000]

Those are all last gen models. And you can check out from the shop's price list.

It's your Your SATA-3 marvell

Try on your Intel SATA1 port

I have this screen shot of my ssd too..

Is there a bottle neck?

Its connected to sata 2.0 port, and the intel 320 only supports up to 2.0

yeah, i suspect it is the marvell chip as well.
Do u think connecting to the Intel SATA-2 port will have better result?

Anyway, I'm not really concern abt the speed, already happy with current speed.
Benchmark it for those who asked for it when I posted this hootz.

Just plug into Intel SATA-2 port & test again
