You can consider yourself lucky if you purchased an SSD last year. Since then not a lot has happened when it comes to the performance, while the prices have gone up. However, using a hard drive as boot disk is not necessary at all - there are more than en...
First of all the best middleclass SSD that you can use. Based on the performance and the good price the Sandisk Ultra II 480GB is the best choice. The Sandisk performs nearly as well as the fastest SATA600-drives in the test, but for a much lower price...
The number of SSDs with a capacity of 1 TB is still relatively small. There are much more 500 GB SSDs available. Nevertheless you can find some interesting models. On top of this list we find the Sandisk Ultra II 960GB, because of its very wallet-frien...

Getting two of these drives might be too costly, “The OCZ Vector 180 960GB more than convinced us once again. They performed great in RAID setups where they doubled the performance as they should. Definitely a drive worth buying.”, OCZ Vector 180 960GB SS
It was a pleasure to have the OCZ Vector 180 SSDs on the test bench once again, and even more at the performance we saw. Whether you want to go for data protection, extra speed and performance, or just a bigger single drive; the result will be a great one...
