I am looking to get a SSD for my eventually arriving T420s. One thing that is very important to me (to an extreme extent) is battery life. I like to make cuts at every component possible to give me even that extra 5 minutes. So here is my question: for a person like me, what SSD should I get?
Some preliminary searching seems to suggest I would be best suited with a Corsair Force F60.
Why do manufacturer's specs for power consumption vary wildly from measured power consumption. For example, the Intel 320 300gb uses 650mW (as measured by AnandTech) when idle but Intel's spec says 100mW typical. Should I put more weight on what the manufacturer gives as the power consumption or on what reviewers say?
