    Hello

    I was hoping someone can help me with some correct info. Looking to upgrade laptop in order to extend usage. Would like to add a SSD but unsure which one to buy and which is compatable? I was looking to buy the intel 520 120gb version. Will this work on my p-172x model. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    I would go with the Crucial M4 -- it's the fastest and cheaper. SATA 3 speeds won't work, but if you decide to upgrade you can always swap drives.

    What about the OCZ vertex 3 or any of the Intel products. Been reading alot on blue screen problems with OCZ, Worth the Intel price. Isn't the Crucial slower compared to Intel and OCZ?

    Any share their model and make and experience?

    thanks in advance
