I could use some input here..........
First SSD purchase. I just bought the oem X25-M 160GB(SSDSA2MH160G2) off tigerdirect for $120 with a $30 rebate($90AR).
After I made the purchase I saw ncix has the Intel 330 180GB for $120 with no rebate but a free game that may sell for $15-20 or so.
Which purchase is better here? Should I just go with the Intel 330 180GB? I am conflicted. The 330 is obviously newer and technically faster I guess as well as 20GB larger. Is the 330 worth the minimal price difference or should I just stick with the X25-M 160GB I already ordered and that has shipped.
The X25-M is also oem and I think I need the adapter tray for the SSD to mount it, I am guessing the retail 330 would have this included?
Thoughts?
