    I need advice on what ssd to buy. Samsung rc710 is said to have HM55 and according to Intel it has SATA2. My options are Crucial 512Gb 2.5" SATA 6Gbps m4 (CT512M4SSD2) or OCZ 480 OCZSSD2-2VTXE480G 2.5" . The second is 15% cheaper. Any other variants are welcome.
    Thanks.

    I'd be very careful with OCZ, they products are nice but if they break (and they do quite a bit) there customer service is awful.

    personally I'd go the M4. you may also look into drives like the C300 which are older and cheaper, and considering your on SATA2 that's the bottle neck not the SSD. some of the old sand force drives may be worth a look as well.
