    Hi all

    I've been trying to find a good SATA-II SSD for my W860CU.

    Any ideas? I've literally looked upon them all and I'm confused as hell.. as it seems that basically the maximum speed of SATA-II has been reached with almost all SSD's.
    Anything particular I should look for? Any ideas?

    I live in Europe btw.

    Looking for a SSD with a storage between 120gb - 240/256gb

    Thanks in advance!

    Just get a SATA III SSD that is reliable and call it a day. SATA II SSDs are going the way of the dodo and unless you can find a cheap Intel 320 of larger capacity, i see absolutely no reason to get a SATA II SSD over a not too expensive and easily available SATA III SSD.

    You have a point. I've thought about that. Going to purchase a new laptop next year anyways.

    Also funny fact.. the Intel 320's are more expensive than the Intel 330's... So much logic

    Thanks tijo

    Haha, yeah, considering that right now you can usually get a Samsung 830 or Crucial M4 for a fairly good price, i no longer see the point of getting an older gen SATA II SSD unless you get a very good price.

    Fantastic, going for a SATA-III then! No way to get a cheap SATA-II it seems, would have loved one though lol, but w/e, I'll just use this one in a future machine
