So I'm thinking of jumping into the SSD bandwagon.
I've been on Raptor and Velociraptor RAID 0s for the past few years, and I've been very satisfied with them. However, SSDs they are not.
I have an X58 board but when LGA2011 comes out I'm gonna upgrade. So with that in mind, I think I'm gonna go with SATA III drives, just to be a little more future proof.
The question is - which ones?
At first the Vertex 3 seemed the obvious choice but the various horror stories and OCZ's attitude towards its customers kinda scared me.
Intel has the best reliability track record but the 510 seems to be inferior to other offerings within its price range.
Lastly, there's the 320 300gb model which looks nice, however its a SATA II drive.
I'm gonna be using 2 drives in a RAID 0 configuration. So the drives in question need to have good GC. At minimum I want 400-500gb of total space.
What do you guys recommend?
