    The missus' PC is a core 2 system 4gb of ram and I was thinking of sticking an SSD in it ready for Windows 10.

    Now do I just grab a basic SSD for her or do I take the one from my PC and grab myself one of these:

    Is the speed really that much higher to justify spending an extra £130?
    Just to be clear this will end up in the PC in my sig not the core 2!

    As an owner of the Predator, it is a very nice ssd. But, unless you have some use cases where the higher speed would actually matter at all I would suggest to either save your money and buy a more standard model, or buy a much larger capacity standard model for around the same price.

    That's the question! Do I buy her an SSD or get myself the predator and give her my hand me down?

    If I just buy her an SSD then the one in your link looks great.
    I'm tempted by the 1400MB read and 1000MB write speeds for me.

    Thanks all
