So if i want to buy an SSD primarly to make my windows work faster (booting and starting up programs etc) does it then really matter if i get one with 230/180 read/write speed or one with 360/135 read write speed.

The first one is like 25 euros cheaper and they are both the same size, i've looked into the speeds of normal harddrives and it seems even these two are faster than regular ones? (non-SSD) Anyway, i'm not sure.
There's also one that is more expensive than the other two but has a read/write speed of over 500/500 (ocz agility 3 series) i only doubt that i am going to see a huge amount of difference between all of these because what program today processes that much data?

Anyone? (DSG >.>?)

Well your OS loading up for one.

Past a certain point it becomes irrelevant, I'm happy with my Hard Drive, and it'll pull off a 115mb/s read time with no issues. Writes about 75 or so.


Need more of them though, too many games to play, not enough space for them all
