We?ve seen our fair share of solid state drives over the past few years, and while we think they are fantastic in providing speed boosts in a PC system, not all SSDs are equal in terms of capability, performance, or features for the price you pay.

Prices continue to make SSDs more accessible to mainstream users, true enough, but there isn't much to differentiate many of these products to the typical consumer. Are SSDs fast? Absolutely. Are they the same? Absolutely not. The trick is to find something that not only provides great performance, but can push the boundaries of what's possible; more bang for your buck is certainly a laudible goal.
