Hey guys,
I'm about to finish a system for a buddy and looking for a larger SSD drive that will house Win7/Ubuntu, Photoshop, Office, Chrome and about 30 gigs total of misc mobile app dev tools that he has and a single large MMO (40ish gig budget there).
I'm assuming one of the 200gb-240gb will be fine but I haven't kept up with the models. What's a good speed model with high reliability to cost ratio? Are the Intels the only rock solid choice still? Which models should I watch for through Monday? $275-$350 dollars is the target budget for the drive.
The rest of the hardware is a slightly OC'd 2600k, 8 gigs of Ram, a 560ti and a couple large Sata 2 HD's for files (both are Sata2 and the mboard has two Sata3 ports open).
