Yeah but it's 90 gigs less in size. :yes: :)
Still a great deal for a 10000 rpm drive.

Good video and info given and my statement was only about the capacity of the drives.
Your inclusion of the speed of the OCZ drive and the comparison video is a great tool for all members to look at.
You might give up some size but the drive is faster. If the drive is solely for the OS and all other programs and data will be saved and installed to a secondary drive then yes the OCZ wins hands down. :)
