“They’re as reliable as a hard drive gets” – you talking about SSDs? I would say that is a very strong assertion to make
It’s a true assertion though.
as a consumer hard drive gets then, if you’re going to be pedantic
Shame the 120Gb version is only SATA-2, as you could probably fine a SATA-3 with the same capacity and roughly the same price
still quicker than your average stock HDD in laptops though
People probably wouldn’t notice the difference between sata 2 and 3 for ssds.
it’s around double the read and write speeds
Which are still very high and the biggest improvement will be the reduced latency.
