I want to buy an SSD!

The thing is, I don't know what to look out for in an SSD. I did do a bit of research but was left ever so slightly confused. Also, considering the amount of space you get, they still seem quite pricey, but SSDs trump HDDs in everything else apparently.

Some SSDs I was looking at:

Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD

PNY 120GB XLR8 SSD

OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 SSD

Like I said, I am not quite sure what to look out for, so I just looked at high read and write speeds. Any help would be appreciated. I would like to keep it below 100£ if possible. Thanks!

Did early SSDs die more often? I bought a 60GB SSD 3 years ago still going strong, is that not likely to last as long?

I have been reading some of those reviews done on Reevoo and apparently the read and write speeds are not always as advertised. What's up with that?

[QUOTE="ChiliDragon"] No, they don't. Modern SSDs are sturdy, and rarely die. They are temperamental about power settings and drivers sometimes, but die easily? No.darksusperia

Random Write 4K: 83000 IOPS
Random Read 4K: 23000 IOPS

Should I avoid it since there is such a big difference between the two?

its not that they die easily. flash ram be it ssd, usb key, sd card etc all have a limited number of writes. a higher iops drive should last longer then a lower rated drive. sppeds and iops aren't guaranteed. its up to, not that it will.darksusperia

SSDs are faster and have higher read speeds, but HDD has such a higher capcity for such a low price. You can find a TB HDD for about $60

hope price comes down on SSD soon... $1 per 1gb is kinda insane...

I SSD are much faster but compared to $0.10 cents per 1GB on a normal HDD is insane

hope price comes down on SSD soon... $1 per 1gb is kinda insane...
