What is the best (while not costing too much) for a non trim environment (AMD).

I won't do big file transfer, so raw speed is not needed, almost any SSD will be better than my old 7200k Hard drive that is slowly dying.

I'm looking for a SSD under 140$ CAD preferably.

In fact, I ask myself if AMD now support trim? I can seem to find any information on it.

AMD drivers support TRIM now.

See if you can find any of these in your price range.

Crucial M4
Samsung 830/470
Corsair Performance Pro
Plextor M3/M3 Pro
Intel 510/520/320

or you can look into the cheaper sandforce drives...i don't suggest them if you can go with something better like listed above.

Now, that's good to know that amd now support trim, It's so hard to find information on it.

The m4 is the only one in my price range.

Thank you for the help
