    Trying to decide between a 128GB Corsair SSD and an OCZ Agility Series 120GB SSD. Any Ideas?

    I'm thinking of purchasing an ssd as well and one feature that is a must is TRIM. Google it, Intel's 2nd gen ssd's and I believe Corsair has it in their next firmware. Might want to take this into consideration.

    I almost bought a 80gb Intel x-25 g2 but decided to wait and see what's going on with Corsair.

    can't go wrong with a g.skill 128GB falcon SSD f/w ver. 1819. TRIM enabled.

    Ludricously fast for my needs.

    Very happy with it.

    I got a 80gb Intel x-25 g2 and a 320gb 7200rpm very fast. Tried raid with 2 320gb but SSD is a big step up much faster. I have windows 7 but has not been much better in startup speed though.
