    Hello guys i am planning to customize a notebook and i have 2 options.
    I was planning not to equip it with a SSD but SSD severely increases boot times and execution of programs so i decided to go with a small 64GB SSD as primary drive for OS and softwares.

    i have two options, both with similar pricing ( $+15 on the latter )

    64GB SanDisk SATA III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 490 MB/s Read & 240 MB/s Write
    and
    64GB ADATA SP900 SATA-III 6.0Gb/s - 550 MB/s Read & 505 MB/s Write

    Since there are only these 2 options, im not looking for a third suggestion :yes:
    So Which one do you think is better? ADATA has far higher write speeds though.

    Looking for suggestions..

    64GB for a boot SSD is way too small.

    Good luck with whatever you do.

    is it? I think Windows 7 will take 20gb and maybe all the other startup programs and stuff should be covered in 10 gb and 30 gb will be free and ill have 750gb as a data drive?
