SSD question

[geraltofrivia]

Is it worth it to upgrade from a 120gb Corsair Force 3 to a 128gb Samsung 830 or Crucial M4 or should I wait a year?

Unless you can upgrade for free, I'd say no. You aren't going to see any real-world differences.

If you're also not increasing the space, I wouldn't do it either.

I'd wait for the Plextor M3, Crucial M4, or Samsung 830 256-512GB models to come down in price, then upgrade.

I feel a M4-256GB price drop in the very near Future.....Plz Plz Plz

256 GB minimum should be your next upgrade.

Is a 256gb ssd faster than a 128 one?

 

[robvas]

Depends on the drive, but in general, yes.

It's usually nowhere near the improvement of going from 64GB to 128GB

On paper and synthetic benchmarks, usually they are.

In the real world, I doubt any human would be able to notice the difference between the same brand, model, and series of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, etc.
