Which Solid State Drive SSD is faster for normal desktop Windows use
as the primary drive? Or am I missing a better value for the same
speed?

OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX30G 2.5" 30GB (apparently MLC)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227393

SAMSUNG MCBQE32G8MPP-0VA00 1.8" 32GB SLC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147055

Apparently the Samsung drive requires a connector adapter to fit a PC.

Thanks.

Don't know which is best but you can get this one that is 64GB for only
about ten bucks more.

If you want performance, I would be wary. Arrange reviews by
Purchasers and Lowest Rating, then look for "lag" or other speed
issues. Definitely do not depend on the highest ratings for these
things.

Also, if it matters to you, obviously they are leaving us out of the
loop. Personally, I believe democracies need to manufacture their
own goods, unless natural resources dictate otherwise. Their public
contact people should at least speak the language(s) of the consumers.

More fool you.

Too radical.

Yes, lets go back to the 60s when every country made their own TVs,
which you could buy for over $1000 in todays dollar.
Or the 80s, when locally made computers only cost $2000-5000.

Like way back when you cared if your neighbor had a job? Like when
it mattered whether our workers in democracies were competing with
slave labor in communist countries? Maybe there never was such a
time, for you, Eric.

Dog eat dog, might makes right, no holds barred, zero regulation,
and no referees... those policies got us into this current mess.
Without access to our markets, communist leaders would eat dirt
until they changed their ways. Our leaders should band together and
use that leverage (we have done that before) instead of just seeing
who can get the most for the least.

You are gravely mistaken, Eric. When you go to the store and need to
save a few pennies, you should (if you are not totally blinded by
greed) consider the neighbor you are putting out of a job and how
you are helping to destroy our manufacturing capabilities. If our
leaders will not help us do it, we can do it in spite of them (if we
can at least get them to tell us where products are made).

People need to eat, but do you really think your money goes to those
faceless workers in China? That is just greedily fanciful thinking.
You will never see those workers or even chat with them on the
Internet.

They never did, ****wit.

Never such a time of most of us, gutless.

There is never zero regulation, even in HongKong before it was handed back to china, fool.
and no referees...

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a ****ing clue about anything at all, ever.

Just another of your pathetic little drug crazed pig ignorant fantasys, child.

China has the leverage now, child. Have a look who is buying US treasurys sometime, child.
(we have done that before)

Like in Vietnam you mean ?
instead of just seeing who can get the most for the least.

You're always welcome to piss your money against the wall, child.
You are gravely mistaken, Eric.

Nope, you are, as always, gutless.
When you go to the store and need to save a few pennies,

I save a hell of a lot more than a few pennys, child.
you should (if you are not totally blinded by greed)
consider the neighbor you are putting out of a job

**** all work in manufacturing in the first world, fool.
and how you are helping to destroy our manufacturing capabilities.

Nope, no one is stupid enough to manufacture most stuff in the west anymore.

Including the PC you are currently using, child.
(if we can at least get them to tell us where products are made).

Dont need to bother, they aint made in the US anymore, child.
People need to eat,

And they kept doing that even when almost all of the cheaper stuff was made in china, child.
but do you really think your money goes to those faceless workers
in China? That is just greedily fanciful thinking. You will never see

You wont do that with anyone 'working' in manufacturing in the US either, child.

People stay away from you not because they think you are a tough
guy, Rod, they are repelled by your stench.

Hello, John:

Well, I always try to "buy American," whenever possible...the trouble
is, very few consumer products (of any real significance) seem to be
made in the U.S.A., anymore!

I mean, hamburgers (and other "junk food") don't count, right? <g>


Cordially,

Yeah, cows find it quite hard to count once they are dead and have been minced.
