Well I hate to admit that I'm still using a dinosaur in my current computer (which is otherwise pretty high end), but I am. To anyone familiar with the OCZ Vertex Series of drives, I have an ORIGINAL Vertex. Not a Vertex 2, 3 or 4. The first series. I bought it back when $150 for 60GB was a steal.
Anyway, it's showing it's age now and the size is a bit of a pain since I have to clear the drive often even with 3.5TB of extra space.
As the title states I'm looking for a SSD that's anywhere from 120GB to 256GB in size. Sata 3 is a must... it's almost 2014 for crying out loud. Must be TRIM supporting (what drives aren't though?). I'm looking for MLC and
not TLC. SLC used to be available in large sizes, but must be cost prohibitive now. I don't need any particular size drive because it's just going in a desktop, so don't try selling me a "slim laptop drive" and trying to get more.
I can buy a brand new, in box, with warranty Mushkin drive for $.68/GB so I really won't look at offers higher than that unless it's a fantastic drive. I'm not against buying used, but things like limited write drives are one of those items you have to be careful with. Used drives will probably take a large hit from retail, UNLESS you can prove the drive was not used for many hours. Post or PM anything you've got!
