    Willing to fork out around $200 for it. I care about loading time for source engine games and general game performance. Which drive is going to be the best for me? Size of the SSD doesn't matter to me. (I can even live with 40GB but I heard the bigger size ones are better now) Any inputs? I don't understand all the sequential read/write speed, just need one that's good for loading large maps consistently and maybe for hosting too, thanks a lot.

    Oops I didn't know there's a difference for SSD for different models. It'll be for the G73SW.

    Sata II versus Sata III. The SW has sata III so you can make use of the fast bus and faster drives like the Crucial...
