|
|
Hey,
after owning my mini for a year or so, I think it is time for it to get a new SSD drive. My mini is Core 2 Duo 2,26 GHz with 4 GHz of RAM, it is late 2009 or early 2010 model (not sure).
Which SSD disk would be the best for my mini. My biggest concern is price/performance and not speed or high end capacity. Capacity would ideally be around 120-180 GB. |

where can you shop in Slovenia. I know you are near Italy east and north of it on the sea. Can you use amazon? I am using samsung 470 models and older intel g2 models. They are very reliable with pretty good price. owc has this model but the shipping from usa would be high.

I can shop all over Europe, as it is generally cheaper as in my country. I think everything else would be an option, except OWC, which seems like USA-only  |

| I prefer Intel drives. I've tried Crucial and the Intel units boot faster. My drive did not have the SandForce controller, however. I currently have three Intel drives - 2 X25M units and a 320 series. I have reused the units using the DOS zero-out/factory restore program which is freeware from Stanford... |
