    According to Wikipedia, all SATA II are compatible with all SATA III, and vice versa.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA
    SATA 3 Gbit/s and SATA 6 Gbit/s are compatible with each other. Most devices which are only SATA 3 Gbit/s can connect with devices that are SATA 6 Gbit/s, and vice versa, though SATA 3 Gbit/s devices only connect with SATA 6 Gbit/s devices at the slower 3 Gbit/s speed.

        If your real-world is opening and closing applications. However, you can also simply leave the computer on and ready to go, negating the benefits of SSD over HDD.

        @twocsies: 100's of benefits. I became an addict, even paying $200+ for 60GB.

    Don't panic. Have you seen how much prices have dropped, across the board, lately?

    Cheap & fast options for all.

  I would consider http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T5EEI8W/ref=psdc_1292116011_t1_B…
  This has better specs for extra 12 USD.

  Doesn't have to be just those 2 cards.

    Apart from those two cards and the Bankwest Zero Platinum, there would be very few cards that would get you close to $AUD104. Nearly all charge a foreign transaction fee for a start. His recommendation is a good one (although he should include the Bankwest).

  This is rather slow compared to other SSDs.

      430MB/s write from $113 - http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=240G+SSD&sp…
      8.6% more price for 43% more write performance.

      470MB/s write from $127 (and 16GB extra storage) - http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=256G+SSD&sp…
      22% more price (14% if scaling the storage amount) for 56% more write performance.

      If you aren't seeking an SSD for performance, then what - reliability?

      I also didn't say it wasn't cheaper than other SSDs. It likely has a market segment target at this price point.

        Hopefully you don't buy a car just based on top speed.

        There are many that buy SSD to spice-up a SATAII limited machine. Cheapest SSD is often the best.

        @Utopian: And there is the market segment. Good suggestion for those still on sata2.

        Lukian on 30/07/2015 - 00:17

        @Utopian: If a car was 43% more effective at its task, I would absolutely pay 8.6% more for it.

        @Lukian: We can go on forever… but thankfully all the reviews show that top speed & synthentic benchmarks tell the story… SSD is the important factor. Once it's installed, everything-else is a bottleneck.
