Here's the thing.... its a Dell Studio 15 1535 with a Core 2 Duo T5750, 4GB Ram. Not exactly bleeding edge technology, and I believe it only is equipped with SATA I.
With that being said I was thinking about it, and I probably don't need a bleeding edge SSD either. What do you guys think? I need a MINIMUM capacity of 80 GB, preferably something in the 120-160GB range. I have been dreaming about the Intel-X25M gen 2 160 gig, and that will probably be the way I go eventually if the price drops but right now its just a bit over my price range ($3-400 tops).
Are there any cheaper and yet still reliable alternatives? I don't know much about the OCZ/Indilix drives, so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
This is my work/school laptop and I'm usually running big programs like Solidworks, Photoshop, etc... it would be great to get those load times down and I'm lured by the shock-proofness (I'm always afraid my laptops going to get bumped just a little too hard).
I plan on doing a fresh install with Windows 7 of course
Thanks for the help!
