I am interested to people’s view on the 64 gig Crucial Sata III C300 vs Sandforce drives akin to the OCZ Vertex 2 60 gig. I know that the slighter Crucial drives have deliberate write speeds however still agree to for insane write speeds. The Sandforce drives have superior read/write presentation (though not as fast read times as the Crucial) but execute inferior with uncompressible data (how common is that?) I at this time have a WD Raptor 74g HDD and a 640g WD Black HDD and would utilize the SSD for games. Somebody please suggest me one. Please help me.

The RealSSD C300 Crucial has already built a fine reputation in the market for SSDs. He is currently the only one to enjoy the performance gain offered by the interface Sata-3 and does not capped at the limit of 300 MB / s SATA interface-2. In 64 GB Crucial here a hard drive to less than 150 euros, which could attract a wider audience. Write performance is announced, however limited to 75 MB / s, against 150 MB / s for the 256 GB version of C300 . We tested this small SSDs at low prices.

Vertex Series 2: New architecture, new performance!
Based on a new architecture, the SSD Vertex 2 Series reach a high level of performance in reading and writing (285 Mb / s, 275 Mb / s). By offering a number of input / output per second of 50,000 IOPS (4 kB random write), they are among the fastest drives on the market. With the controller SandForce SF1200 they are much faster than the previous generation discs and are ideal for high-end configurations such as PC Gamer and PC Next Gen Multimedia. Optimized for operating systems like Windows 7 latest with support for the TRIM control, they allow you to enter a new era: that the future of computing where the machines are more efficient and greener than ever .

Relativize still the price of this SSD. The top models of 128 GB cost about 300 euros. The price / capacity of 64 GB version in C300 is identical to that of all high-end SSDs. The tests we conducted showed the same behavior in reading than the 256 GB version, which we have already tested: disk blithely exceed 300 MB / s and rises to 353 Mb / s in the ATTO test and 330 Mb / s under CrystalDiskMark.

This little C300 64 GB could make a good record system to store some programs and Windows 7. Its price is 149 euros, in absolute terms, more attractive, but not more interesting in terms of cost per gigabyte. Another interesting solution: spend less than 300 euros to combine two of these SSDs in Raid-0. This would provide 128 GB of storage capacity with high performance in reading, up to 150 MB / s write, but by way of TRIM in Sata-3. Indeed, only the Intel ICH10 is currently capable of handling the TRIM in Raid-0, but it offers only the Sata-2.
