Intel 330 SSD or Kinston HyperX 3K?

[benwood]

I have a choice between a 120 GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD and a 180 GB Intel 330 SSD. I don't play games but I might do some video encoding (converting old VHS and Laserdiscs to DVDs). Mostly I'm going to be using the machine for regular things like web surfing. So which is the better SSD for regular use?

Intel 330 > HyperX 3K. The extra 60GB might come in handy.

Intel 330 for sure. Better quality and more capacity for not much more cost

However if you only need to put the OS and programs on it, you'd be fine even with a 60GB drive.

Same price? Get the higher capacity drive.
