[quote][i]Originally posted by AdZ9[/i] I spent about 4 weeks researching which SSD to buy and the 830 came out the better for the price, I didn't want to spend £400 on a SSD, if I did I would of added it as an upgrade when I ordered it. The 830 has pretty much the best read/write speeds for Sata III for the mid range/cheaper SSDs. I was comparing the OCZ Vertex 3, Crucial M4 and the Samsung 830. I went with the 830 as the Crucial had slower read/write speeds, and the Vertex has gotten some bad reviews lately. Samsung 830 doesn't neccessarily need TRIM enabled either, it's been proven to have one of the best built in garbage collector/disposal methods of the current SSDs released. That said I did enable TRIM purely just to make sure, the retina MBPs come with TRIM enabled and using the same model SSD just rebranded . I'll monitor the speeds over the coming months and then check whether TRIM is worth it or not, I do delete/move alot of files for my work (graphic/web designer) so it might be that I have to keep TRIM on. *edit* also, LeeM if you haven't already, have a read of some threads on Macrumors MBP section here [url]http://forums.macrumors.com/forumdisplay.php?f=90[/url] [Edited on 30-07-2012 by AdZ9] [/quote]
