Hi Guys I need some help and advice with buying a SSD for my current system which is as follows: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz Motherboard P6X58D-E I was thinking about purchasing the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB but after reading a review and the final thoughts and conclusion of the reviewer I was stopped dead in my tracks he quotes : Now I am a novice but I did do some research about my motherboard and it does have the SATA 6Gb/s controller my device manager for the controller lists it as Marvell 91xxSATA 6 G Controller which is not the 88SE9182 controller model as the SSD reviewer recommends to fully utilize OCZ Vertex 3. I basically think I have swamped myself with information overload which in all honesty I am struggling to understand, all I want really is a good SSD that will make the most of what I have with my PC. I am not saying money is no object but I would prefer to buy quality over cheaper options so would any of you kind people please help me with some options that I could consider. I know there are some very clever people on this forum and I do thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions
I got a 256GB SAMSUNG MMDOE56G5MXP SSD drive I picked up cheap off Ebay. This ones Trim enabled, Trim enables the SSD to handle garbage collection overhead, that would otherwise significantly slow down future write operations. Hope this helps
