    I would like to get 2 Samsung SSD drives for my Dell Precision M6600.

    I would like to fit the fastest and best that can go in this laptop, but have at least 256GB each. Budget is not a consideration.

    Which ones should I get?

    Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions

    Samsung? Best?

    Get two SanDisk Extreme II's 480GB drives if you want the fastest (over time) SSD's and OP them by at least 30%.

    Good luck.

    ^I remember reading that thread, but I can't remember if the SanDisk Extreme II was also best in benchmark numbers or if it was "real-life performance" best. I know the Samsung SSDs absolutely kill when it comes to numbers (I fell for it myself), but seems like real-life performance might be a different story...
