Looking for a great SSD that below $500

Hi guys,

I'm searching for a SSD that below $500 or a little bit higher (+$20).
The capacity I want is 200GB+
I don't have much knowledge in SSD but I did some researches and Crucial M4 and OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G seem really good :D.
I plan to put it in my macbook pro 15" (early 2011 model)
It will be great if you guys can let me know any good deal on SSD or good place to buy

Thank you very much in advance :D

  • I'm currently using the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB in two of my computers and it's blazingly fast. Unsure what SATA the 2011 MBP has in it, but hopefully you'll have SATA III. Reviews that I've seen put it on similar par to the M4 and Mercury but I can't vouch for either of those two personally.

    If you look around, you'll find the Vertex 3 for ~ $520..possibly better if you shop around from overseas.

    My 2 cents worth.

    • Thanks for your reply RockDJ :D
      I had a look at the OCZ Vertex 3 as well, they have great performance (I think it's in the top atm) but some people complained about the reliability of OCZ SSD. I haven't owned any SSD so i don't really know about that :/
      Have you had any problem with your Vertex 3?

  • i had no complaint about vertex3, but i have a doubt about crucial m4 ssd

    • hi binadms, thanks for ur reply
      can you explain to me a bit more why u have a doubt on the crucial M4 plz :D ?

  • i assume that you owned an apple product? since you're looking at mercury extreme pro ssd… if you google crucial m4 and macbook pro problem…there heaps of discussion about it.

    Well some says it works but some says its not. Vertex 3 …just works. Again this was and still in my macbook pro.

    • Yeh, I own the Macbook pro 15" i7 model :D. I will do more research with the vertex 3 then, thank you very much for your info
