Bad things happen sometimes, my OCZ Vertex IV SSD just decided to die today, now don't worry I'm smart enough usually since I'm a computer technician I know not to store important files on SSD drives especially OCZ Vertex ones (long story short this one is actually a RMA replacement that I got from a friend that couldn't wait and didn't want to pay for shipping) their bad reputation is clearly evident I actually helped 3 of my customers send RMA OCZ drives to the OCZ repair shop.
But back to my problem, I really enjoyed the SSD speed on my machine especially at loading Windows (12 seconds and I was on my desktop) and games like FTB packs, but I have not too much money to replace it at the moment and I could spend around 80$ on a replacement unit actually (my OCZ was a 256GB unit but I don't need so much space a 64GB unit would be enough) all I care is if it can hold Windows and a bunch of programs, a few games and FTB I'll be alright since all the rest of my files are spread on multiple drives (actually 4 drives at the moment) Now I know there's a catch on theses drive and its the write speed that is usually the bottleneck, what would you recommend to me that I could pick up later today at this place http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?cPath=179_1229&bsort=0&brand=0&price=1&location=LAVAL Now I know I could probably have a better price on Internet somewhere, but I want to be able to grab it quickly and I usually shop there for my stuff, its like my candy store, I have my eyes on this one : http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=179_1229_1088&item_id=047466
But I see this one http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=179_1229_1088&item_id=068531 that only can write at 140mb/s at 69,99$ but is 128GB size, wonder if the write speed would really change something since I play on server and the server is at my brother house also on a Adata SSD.
Thanks to anyone that can shed some lights on this tonight, I'm 33 yrs old and already spent 17 yrs fixing computers so I know a lot about this, but sometimes I'm not up to date and could use some help especially on hardware products...
