I just dont understand why all of a sudden 4k writes are a big deal?
I mean no one and I mean no one ever benched or gave two shits about 4k writes until SSD's came around.
Im just so tired of all these thread that are like is ok to get xxx SSD I heard it has slower 4k writes compared to the Intel.
Then the Intel FanBoi's chime in saying that all the other SSD's are garbage because they are not as good at 4k writes.
Who the HELL cares???
I mean yes the Intel SSD is better....I know that but for avg joes laptop there is absolutely ZERO need to spend the money for an Intel SSD.
My reasoning is if you compare any Indilix based SSD against any HDD the SSD is gonna way outperform the HDD.
Yes the Intel is better...but its not noticeable.
Heres some SS's....my sequential throughput is limited by my ich7 controller in my laptop.
But It still shows the comparison well IMO because its the same exact computer both with a fresh Install of Win7
OCZ Vertex 120gb
WD 250GB
Man those are really close...I dunno if I could recommend a SSD besides the Intel
