New PC: Part 2 – SSD – OS Drive
Hey guys,
A few days ago I was confronted with a gut wrenching image:
Ahhh Crap..
Fortunately, it’s still worked since then, but I didn’t trust it at all, so after checking my bank, and stock at the local computer store, I headed down and picked up one of these:
G Skill Falcon 128GB SSD
That’s right, G Skills newest SSD, and by the looks of it, the fastest on the market with the exception of a few extremely expensive drives (which I can’t remember the names of, d’oh)
It cost me AU$425 from my local MSY store, I was lucky too, I got the last one in stock!
I was thinking of the OCZ Vertex, but from the reading I’ve been doing, it’s slower than the Falcon (slightly), but it’s over $150 bucks more expensive.. Screw that.
Just so you know, this drive IS for my new PC, but I can’t hold out for that long without a drive in my current PC, so I’m going to go ahead and use it as my main OS drive for my current machine.
I’m in the process of burning a new Windows 7 DVD, then I’ll chuck it in, I’ll take some pics of the unboxing and installation process and post up an Unboxing/Installation/First impressions thingy.
Wish me luck!
Thanks,
Aaron
