I am thinking of getting a new 120/128 GB SSD to be used for OS and running games. Budget is 6-7K.
I can see Samsung 840 @ around 6K, and it seems to have good reviews. Other option I have in mind is OCZ Vertex 4 (but this might go over-budget).
I have not been able to find Crucial M4 120 GB.
What choice would be best for my budget? I am currently leaning towards Samsung 840. Good choice? I can actually go up to 10K, but that's something I would not prefer unless absolutely worth it. Kinda saving up for Haswell release
.
Also, I play World of Warcraft most, and that will probably go on the SSD. However, WoW probably reads/writes more on the SSD. How will it effect SSD's life?
PS: My current OS drive is a WD Caviar Blue 350 GB, and a Seagate Barracuda 500GB is the storage drive.
