    Intels are a little faster, but the Samsung drives are not bad for the price, either way your still talking way faster than a standard drive

    Personally i preferred The New Samsung SSD 470 Series, which had been released around Aug 2010 . all SSD different are that their Cell processor and Their read & Write speeds on what i had read about SSD. ;)
