I want to buy an SSD right now, not wait until Vertex 3 and all the other next-gen drives are available and bug-free.
I will be buying a Sandy Bridge motherboard (probably some ASUS with H67) along with it, and I will be running Windows 7 64-bit. This will be my everyday desktop.
I have narrowed it down to Vertex 2, C300 or X25-M G2, either 64 GB or 128 GB (or thereabouts). I was leaning towards 64 GB since it will be enough for my OS drive, and also cheaper. Then I could always upgrade once Vertex 3 (or similar) was stable, if I wanted. And the 64 GB drive could then find use in one of my other computers. But as I understand it, the 128GB will be both faster out of the box and will have less performance loss as time goes by because each memory cell will be have less wear on average, all else being equal.
Can you help me make the final decision? Which model? Which size?
Thanks
