    Hi guys,

    So i'm new to the forum, and laptops in general. I am looking to buy a laptop for college, and the sager 9150 has caught my eye. The special edition of the 9150 especially interests me. I was just wondering how these two SSDs compare. Yes, the Sandisk X100 is $50 cheaper than the other, and i was just wondering is it worth it??

    We all want to save money. just wondering.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Definitely not worth it.

    For $50 you'll make your new notebook worth less than that...

    When you mean definitely not worth it, do you mean that i should pocket the $50 and get the sandisk. or not worth saving $50, because crucial is so much better?

    Either get the crucial or save up to get a Samsung 830/840 Pro. :)

    I have a Crucial m4 and have worked with some awful slow sandisk SSDs.
