>> 256GB SSD for £130.48
Too late for me Im afraid I opted for the cheaper OCZ 120GB at £76.99,
Although looking at my build spec Im actually getting a "
OCZ Vertex 4, which uses the new Indilix Controller with better IOPs speed.
I did try do a fair bit of resarch in to SSD drives and OCZ seemed to come out pretty well and were a bit cheaper than the corsair ones. Thoughts are that the SSDs prices will probably stay stable for the next couple of years... but who knows. It was a balancing act of decentish spec hardware without breaking the bank.
128GB should do me.. the system drive on here (which includes my work directory) is about 50GB. Anything else goes onto the D-Drive. Putting the system/programs/work dir on the SSD should make it pretty fast. If prices do fall I should be easily able to slot in another one a later date.
Because of cost, I dont think Ive got the latest and greatest of anything, but its still hopefully a pretty sweet system.
The SSD and CM Case where areas where I had some extravagance... but as it turned out with Scan doing a special bundle on the CM case and it actually turned out good. It was Scan that changed the spec of the SSD, but I think they sometimes do that if they dont have the one you ordered in stock and give you a better one.
