Dear Members,
Urgent Suggest me to go for SSD, Both are same price.
Which one to GO ?
Get the Plextor.
It’ll probably last you longer.

Plextor would be better MLC > TLC [H] was very negative in their review of 120GB 840

Kingston SSDNow V300 is also worth considering
Any idea who handles RMA for Plextor in India?
Are you sure?
yes SF-2281 is petty decent Controller
Incidentally am too planning to buy the kingston v300 ssd… Costs 5.8k…
My only worry is the kingston after sales customer service. Is it any good?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using TechEnclave Forum mobile app
The Plextor specified in the thread is also a TLC, the M5P are the Pro ones which use MLC, trust me when I talk to someone about V300, the only thing they say is Garbage, don’t touch a Kingston.
Are you sure Plextors using TLC?
They’ve changed the NAND to 19mm Toshiba, but it’s still MLC, isn’t it?
Only the pro versions have toshiba 19nm I think
and m5s has Micron synchronous 25nm MLC,definitely not TLC!!
The Plextor M5S is MLC. Plextor doesn’t have any TLC products yet; probably expected only by the end of the year. The only downside with Plextor would be that they don’t have any official presence in India, so warranty is handled only by Prime ABGB, if I’m not mistaken.
In any case, if you have the option of a Marvell controller based SSD, I would pick it instead of a Sandforce (SF-2281) controller.
My Bad, Yes it is MLC, but not that great http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/plextor-m5-pro-m5s_10.html#sect0
^ Not that great? o_O You mean there’s a 120/128GB SSD selling for 6K thats faster & more reliable than the Plextor M5S?

They released a newer version of the M5S sometime at the beginning of this year.
Marvell 88SS9187 with Toshiba ToggleDDR2.0 19nm NAND (MLC)
Edit: Of course, I have no idea which version is shipping here.

In case the OP hasn’t made his purchase yet…the Kingston is available @ about Rs.5500 on flipkart today.
Plextor M5S is MLC source
V300 performance is similar to other SF-2281 drives [H] was very positive in their review & its the cheapest SF-2281 + MLC drive i can find
Plextor is better both in performance & reliability but Kingston is cheaper & has manufacturer’s warranty
i have no idea how good or bad Kingston’s support is so can’t comment on that
would be great if anyone could share their views on Kingston’s support
Among these two 128GB drives I would suggest the Plextor.
However, if you are considering 250GB then get the Samsung 840. Also Flipkart has a 5% off sale on electronics for today.
