    I bought mine from ebay but that is a 128 gig drive. This is a 64.

    Crucial drives are known to be reliable and fast. If you can and need more space, you can get the 128 gig drive because it is only $25 more than the 64. But if you don't need the space, you can get the one off of newegg. I think Corsair has been overlooked but is also pretty good and available for $20 cheaper than the Crucial.

    If you want an SSD that small, go with the 830 series from Samsung.

    Larger sized SSDs will be faster because they have more NAND channels. Companies like OCZ don't tell you that, they rate all the sizes the same performance.

    I mean...unless you copy data 24/7, your OS drive will mostly be doing reads. Most important figures are really the 4k speeds, the first block is sequential read/write and don't translate to real world performance.
