    Hey all,

    Part of new build - 2 SSD drives required, one for the OS and another for other data.

    OS drive ~128GB I'm thinking should be enough for Win7 and applications.

    The other drive ~256GB

    Seems to be a lot of debate on the 'best' drives, what are your thoughts?

    OS - for the best performance & longevity either a toggle nand SF (max iops, etc) or the Corsair Performance Pro (under partition the latter by at least 7%)... ...personally the former.

    [Edit]

    ...as it will have a far greater longevity & is faster overall for this type of use...

    ...but then not everyone likes SFs.

    [End Edit]


    Other one... Well, 'if' it were to be a games only drive then, as it'll be effectively read only day to day, a M4 to save money...

    ...but without knowing what the 'other data' you're talking about is then i can't 100% say what the best choice is.
