best SSD for my ASUS G60Jx

iam looking for best SSD 120GB for my ASUS G60Jx

ASUS - Notebooks- ASUS G60Jx

and is it support the new SSDs ? such as Amazon.com: Crucial 512 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA 6Gb/s CT512M4SSD2: Electronics

 

I think you've turned things upside down a bit. There is no BEST SSD for any notebook. The main thing if you want to buy SSD is to determine of course how much are you willing to pay for it. Just after that you should determine if your chipset (which I think is HM55 for your model, but be sure to check it out on Asus website by typing in your exact S/N or model number) supports SATA3 or just SATA2. I personally think its SATA2, but I might as well be very wrong. When you determine these facts it should be a bit easier for you to choose which SSD to buy. If you tend to keep your notebook for some time there is no reason to buy SATA3, but if you intend to replace it with newer one go for SATA3 even if your current notebook doesn't support it. Not because SATA3 wouldn't work for you, rather new models and chipsets are very likely to show up, so there is no need to buy a truck if you need a car. If price difference between SATA2 and SATA3 SSDs is small (to you of course) again go for SATA3.
I personally prefer Intel SSD's from various reasons, but once again it's just my personal preference. Another thing you should be aware when buying SSD is that size 60/120/240GB drives with same controllers DO perform different - bigger sized SSDs are faster. If you're not familiar with this policy search around a bit and you should easily find an answer why is this happening. One other thing I was looking for when I was buying my SSD is to check out which has some kind of maintenance utility to perform TRIM (even most OSes support TRIM by default).

I hope this helped you at least a bit.

 

I agree with Allidea. I went with Intel because they offer 5 year warranty, versus 3 years by almost everybody else. Additionally, Intel has the SSD Toolbox software that is supposedly only compatible with Intel SSDs. Furthermore, reviewers on all hardware sites usually note that Intel SSDs have the best reliability ratings. They might not actually have the best performance but the other SSDs that can out-perform Intel do so by only moderate margins.

Take note that some other 3rd parties actually have SSDs that are identical to Intel's SSDs, except that they may have re-branded them and changed some other components like the controller.

Tom's Hardware notes that most people actually won't be able to tell much of a performance difference between SATA 2 vs SATA 3: Upgrade Advice: Does Your Fast SSD Really Need SATA 6Gb/s? : Should You Feel Bad That Your Board Only Supports SATA 3Gb/s?

Your laptop supports SSDs, as long as they have SATA connections, which yours does. If money is no issue, I'd also get an SLC over an MLC SSD, as SLC supposedly has even better performance and reliabilty.

 

Crucial M4 128gb. SATA III compatible, best bang for buck. Huge amount sold. Nuff said.
