I’m down to one of these two SSDs to throw into my Zotac MAG and installing XBMC Live:

Corsair Force Series Solid State Drive, 40GB for C$85

or

OCZ Vertex 2 Extended Sandforce 60GB for C$100 (after MIR)

I don’t expect to notice any performance difference between the two and even 40GB is too much space so I’m tempted to simply go with the cheaper one. Anybody got any preference here? Any problems with the Corsairs?

Also, apart from adding “discard” to fstab, anything else I need to do to optimize my SSD?


Thanks in advance

I'd go with the Vertex 2; only heard good things about those units.

I bought an Intel X25-V 40 GB from ncix for $70 after rebate a couple months ago.

This is best summary of mount options I've seen:

Thanks, guys. And yeah, I saw that 50GB, too. I just hate MIRs; they're enough to test a monk's patience.
