Need a bigger SSD, upgrading from Intel X25MG2

[shawnoen]

Hi, I need a larger capacity SSD. Currently have an Intel X25MG2 in 160GB. Need something that 240GB or bigger.

Was waiting for the 520 series Intel but I need something by next week.

Is the Corsair Force GT a good option? Looking at the 240GB one for $409 on Newegg.

I have an EVGA E760 Classified motherboard and have no plans to upgrade from X58 for now (or the next year) it appears. Board only has SATA 3Gb/s.

Need something reliable that I don't have to worry about, current Intel SSD have never given me problems! Just running out of room and already have my music and movies on another drive for space saving.

Crucial M4. Fast, reliable, and decent price - pretty much the go-to SSD right now.

As much as I like other Corsair products, the only Corsair SSD I would consider is their Performance Pro as all the others have Sandforce controllers which are still on my "never buy" list.

In no particular order:

Intel 320/510
Samsung 470/830
Crucial M3/M4
Corsair Performance Pro

Or another way to put it it, any SSD w/o a Sandforce controller

I was in your exact same boat with an Intel 160GB waiting on the 520. I went with the Samsung 830 256GB and couldn't be happier.

I've got the Performance Pro and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

I just ordered a 256GB M4 a few days ago, and can't wait to intall it.
