Neuro plays with all kinds of stuff
the 60GB rule was for SATA2 when larger drives used different NAND chips that were less resilient.
Now the difference between a 60 and a 120 or even a 240GB drive is usually performance related. Only sometimes will a mnaufacturer use different NAND modules in different desnity SSDs.
Intel/Micron stuff (they actually have a joint venture and still use micron model numbers on all their parts,, and called me an insider because I asked questions I was not supposed too so no more testing Intel SSDs I guess) is great for desktop OS NOT for benching.
For benching its all about sandforce. Definitely go SF2200 even if you are sata-2 limited.
Because on small file sizes, you will hit the limitations much sooner on SATA2 then with a dedicated SATA2 drive.
(Sound backwards, but it makes sense, you are going to maximize the interface sooner with a SATA3 drive)
Vertex3 is among teh best of the drives you can get. However in a pinch the agility 3 will get you to 90% of that performance benching and in general desktop you will not be able to tell.
Sorry been away guys trying to take care of stuff before the holidays as I am moving after them
