Hi everyone, I am looking for a good 7mm SSD. I know that the Samsung 830s and 840s are 7mm but are there better alternatives?
I cannot find a Samsung 830 256GB for a good price. I am not too sure about the new 840 series either. The Pro version of the 840 is more pricey than I am willing to spend. I don't do anything extravagant so will the regular 840 be just fine? How does it compare to the Intel 520?
I am interested in the Intel 520 series since they are offered in the 7mm form. The 180GB SSD I am using right now is Intel but I'm not sure if it is 520. It is extremely fast and the startups seem to be faster than the 830 but I have not tested it. However, most of the 520s that are sold seem to be 9.5mm. Best Buy has a Intel 520 180GB for $129.99 right now but it is 9.5mm.
Any other recommendations?
I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.
