Ive been holding off an SSD for a while now, and its finally the time for me to take the plunge.
I have a few questions however. I decided i wanted one of the 2 drives below;
Intel X25-M 160gb - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-005-IN&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427
OCZ Vertex Limited Edition 100GB - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-035-OC
First question. Is the write speed on the Intel, really as low as the specifications make it out to be in comparison with the OCZ? (70MB/sec for the Intel and 250MB/sec on the OCZ) Id rather get the cheaper drive and lose out on the extra 60GB for £60 if the write speed really can be up to 3 times faster on the OCZ.
Second question. I see OCZ are bringing out Vertex II SSD's. If im not in desperate need of an SSD, is it worth waiting for the Vertex II?

So really, i have 3 options.
Intel (160GB)
OCZ (100GB Vertex)
OCZ (100GB Vertex II)
What do you guys think?
