No, don't buy Corsair Force GT.

Buy Samsung 830 series 128 GB. It is the best SSD out there - both performance and reliability.

I am also planning to buy corsair force series 3 60gb. Is there any problem with corsair?

Yeah I was thinking about buying GT as well till ico dropped this bomb

Googling for issues

IMO never buy a 64GB SSD, it won't of any use.

OS + Few other basic softwares like Office, PDF, Browsers will take 40-50GB. Now rest 10-14GB is of no use. On top of it, its not recommend to use 90% of the storage space in a SSD.

Get hold of a 128GB. Grab an intel / samsung / Crucial / OCZ Vertex 3/4 Model. These SSD's are currently floating in the market with indian warranty.

As far as Corsair Force 3 is concerned, Corsair had actually scheduled a recall from the market. I wonder how many desi dealers did that.

Massive history of firmware bugs as well.

In Corsair Force GT 128 GB's case, there is simply a more reliable, may be slightly faster and better product available from Samsung for slightly more cost.

haha...primeabgb had a sale few days back. I wonder how many bought Force GT from them.

SF-2281 controller SSDs aren't known to be as reliable in comparison to the Samsung 830 series. Basically nothing wrong with them or Force GT, but Samsung 830 is the best.

[sandeep3010]

To be frank I am not gonna tweak and play with the internal settings of the SSD.

what I need is a simple high performance ssd (coz I have close to zero knowledge bot it)

Please advice a best buy for performance & reliability (my purpose : gaming, general )
NO photoshop/designing applications

 

[Shibaprasad]

I only need SSD for boot drive (OS+Office+some essential soft+a Game) and a 60~64 SSD is enough. I need a cheap reliable drive around 6k. Plz guys help

how about Kingston SSDNow V100 and Adata s596 ssds?

 

[Skud]

As a thumb-rule, you should keep 15-20% of the available space free. So it is advisable to get a 120/128 GB drive. If you want to stick with lower capacity drive, get this:-

This is another option:-

Crucial M4 good?

 

[Skud]

Very good. It had a "5000 hours bug", which I think has been cured with the latest firmware. Otherwise, its one of the most stable SSD out there.

Ico, RMA of Samsung SSDs would be an issue. It is confirmed that Samsung India isn't importing any SSD and therefore they won't provide any support against any RMA application.

Crucial M4 good?

If it does have official distri in India (search in their site) then it is a good choice otherwise not.

Very good. It had a "5000 hours bug", which I think has been cured with the latest firmware. Otherwise, its one of the most stable SSD out there.

It has been cured, and no longer an issue.

3). Crucial M4 120GB @ 8.8k : Crucial 128GB m4 SSD | 128GB SSD | SSD Technology | SSD Cost

If OCZ have official distri or presence in india, then Vertes3 is a very good choice. Otherwise, welll... be warned about RMA.

To be either Corsair GT series or Intel seems to be two of the best choices.
