[Nottingham] SSDs

[Rory Holland]

Avoid off-brand ones. Check reputable review sites like
www.pcpro.co.uk to see what they have to say. It's worth spending a
bit of money; don't just buy the cheapest one on eBuyer. In fact,
avoid eBuyer entirely, I've had consistently bad experiences with them
in the past. Buy from a reputable supplier like Scan or Amazon who
have a good reputation for customer service.

As far as specific devices go, I'm using the 120Gib Corsair Force SSD
which comes in my Chillblast Fusion Flash, and I couldn't be happier
with it.
