don't bother with that drive if you want one for speed, I would do OCZ vertex 3 at a minimum.. much faster read/write and IOPS and is Sata III

128GB should be about enough for the average user to install the OS and some choice programs that would benefit with the fast startup (Battlefield 3, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere). Probably the most reasonably-priced segment of the SSD market.

Wow, the M4's only $115 now? I bought it when it was at $158. Lol.

I wouldnt go less than90-120/128gb drive that gives you plenty of room for windows and ur main programs and a few games and should give you room to spare...pricing has been pretty good on the egg lately, generally i filter everything down on the egg and then i look at passmark for speed benchmarks on high end HD's and see what going to be the best bang for the buck.

More work on the H100. The fans PULL so very well.


Have you seen the new Corsair fans? They are what I am using for my Maximus V build. Almost as good as the Noctua fans and they look a lot better. I like them so much that I am about to replace the Noctua fans in my Rampage IV build with them.
