Which SSD?

[lem0n]

Hi,

Should i pay an extra $20 for a 512MB cache?
Parts are linked below.
I don't know how much difference that'll make, a lot of the SSDs i looked at didn't have a cache so is it unneeded?

Thanks!

Most current SSDs have a buffer of some sort; it's usually referred to as a cache. The Samsung EVO does. Here's the impact if you don't have one. The Crucial m500 line has capacitors that allow the drive to flush its cache in the event of a power outage.
