SSD for W520 Which, Where, and How much?

#1 Post by afgunst2000 » Sat Sep 15, 2012 4:24 pm

I am looking to get an SSD for my W520.
Which is the best drive?
Where to I get it?
How much will it cost?
What do I need to install it as the primary hard drive?

These are the best drives:
Intel 520 Series
Intel 330 Series
Corsair Force GS, Force GT, or Force 3
Kingston HyperX
Sandisk Extreme
Samsung 830 Series

I do not know any retailers or prices for South Africa.
