Sata II Intel SSD vs Sata III Crucial SSD?

[Guywiththegun]

I bit on a deal for an Intel 80gb SSD, not realizing its SATA II. I guess I was blinded by the almighty "deal." It had already shipped, so I called Newegg and they say I can just return it unopened for full refund (seems too easy to me).

Anyway, would you keep it, or return it and get this instead (keeping in mind I intend to get a MB with SATA III):

I'm a bit fuzzy on all this. I know Intel is supposed to be super reliable for SSD's but is it worth keeping SATA II for that?

you won't notice a difference in day to day use

With your everyday usage, i agree with nanaki333. As an example, I have a vertex2 on SATA II and a C300 on SATA III. Yes, the bench results are different but in reality, I cant really tell the differance other than I know what rig they are in and what chipset they are using. Besides, you have an Intel and since you got a great deal, Keep It!
