Storage Solutions 128 GB SSD, please suggest

[te12345]

I want to buy a new SSD of 128 GB for my desktop pc. I am confused about which one to buy. I have found on internet that these 2 are quite popular -

Crucial 128GB m4 Solid State Drive - @ Rs 7800 -
Crucial 128GB m4 Solid State Drive


OCZ 128GB Vertex 4 SSD - @ Rs 7500
OCZ 128GB Vertex 4 SSD

- Please suggest which one should I go for.

- And if you aware of any better deal from any other site by using coupons etc. then please let me know.

- And the last question is - Do I need an invoice in order to get the warranty on these drives, or they provide the warranty based on serial number itself, like the western digital hard drives ? I am asking this because my local pc guy does not provides the invoice.

Thanks and regards.

try to get Intel 335 series, it should be cheaper than these two, and very reliable !

Thanks a lot for your reply bro
Reliability is definitely an important factor for me.

Both these drives are of 120 GB from Intel, but there is big difference in the price -

Intel 120GB 330 Series SSD @ Rs 7000
Buy ntel 120GB 520 Series SSD in India | Intel SSD Price and Review @ Rs 9600

te12345 Go for OCZ Vertex 4 128GB-7.5k OR Crutial M4 128GB-8.2k both are good.

Well, try to find Intel 335 Series (not 330 or 520), should be around 7k or so. Or Corsair Force GT 120GB

Go with samsung SSD Samsung SSD | Buy Online Samsung 256GB 830 Series SSD
its best in class MLC

Crucial M4 is also reliable


alternatively in 120 GB category

Following ones are also good .
Samsung 840 Series MZ-7TD120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Kingston 120GB HyperX SSD

Practically you wont see difference between read speeds in likes of 500MB/s and 400Mb/s . What matters is realiability

Crucial , Samsung , Kingston most reliable brands in market

The Kingston HyperX is Sandforce. I wouldn't call it reliable. Brand has nothing to do with reliability. Intel makes reliable drives but still had the 8MB bug on the 320 series.

Crucial M4 128G is out of stock, is Plextor M5S a good alternative? It is competitively priced @7500/- odd

^ Yeah they both have identical components. Marvell xxxx9174 controller + 25nm Micron MLC NAND. Plextor firmware seems to be getting more performance out of it though.
