Hi there.
Please recommend me an SSD ,for about 600 US Dollars.
I have now WD 6400 AAKS . If i get an SSD for 600 USD,would it be better than WD 6400 AAKS ?
Thanks.
 
I refer you here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1438124

The anandtech article has a good performance overview of the X-25M g2, which is probably what you'll want.

for $600 you can get almost 3x 80GB, or 1 x 160GB and 1 80GB. The simpler option would be to just go with 2 80GB in RAID 0, or a single 160GB.

It will be much faster than your AAKS drive (I have the same drive). Load your OS and most frequently used applications and games on the SSD, and then use your hard drives for storage and all else.
 
Either a 160GB Intel or a 256GB Vertex would be my vote.

Wait until the Intel is down to the msrp if that's the route you are going ($440) as right now it's pretty new and gouge prices still.
 
So,Intel has the best SSD' s ?
What about OCZ / CORSAIR / IMATION ?
Are they any good ?
 
Intel generally has the best but most expensive. Past that, you should choose by brand (support and warranty) and controller. Intel and ocz are popular, but I personally went corsair gen 2 (samsung).
 
Unless you have to have right now, I'd wait to see what the OCZ Collassus looks like. The 256GB drive will run you about $600. 128GB comes in around $300
