which ssd to buy

[addamsg]

Hello eng suan,

At what price you are selling both of these..??

 

[pinkani8]

My laptop's Toshiba HDD begin to show signs of failing. Read reviews that this HDD average lifespan was only 1.5 years! Instead of waiting for it to fail completely, I got myself the Plextor M5Pro 128GB at $157 from Best Computer Supplies. Previous purchases was 6 months back at the same place and at about the same price too. So far, no problems.

Plextor brand is the best choice!

No need to keep asking...just buy it...if not prices kept going up soon.

If not than just buy the SILICON POWER V60 at S$132 for the 120gb version at Best Bargain.

I'm looking into Plextor as well.

May I know what's the different between M5Pro and M5Pro Xtreme? very big difference in terms of performance and reliability? They are both 5 years warranty right?

Have been using these brands for the last few years.

1) OCZ - two dead SSD but still buy newer models. Use in desktop
2) Intel - Use in Server , notebook and desktop
3) ADATA - Use in desktop
4) Samsung - Use in desktop
5) Sandisk - Use in desktop
6) Kingston - Use in desktop
7) Crucial - Use in notebook
8) Plextor - Use in notebook
9) Silicon Power - Use in MacBook and desktop
10) Apacer - Never buy this brand,two dead SSDs
11) Strontium - Use in MacBook and desktop
12) Corsair - Use in desktop
13) G. Skill - Use in desktop
14) Patriot - Use in desktop

If you do not run benchmark , there is 100% really no differences in daily usage speed even between a SATA II and SATA III SSD to the visual eyes. Maybe you can only "see" the differences when you do large data files transfer between SSDs.

Just buy the one that meet your budget and be happy.

Just sharing my experiences with you guys....
