I am planning to buy a couple of SSDs tomorrow from staples. These two are on special.
V200 79.99
V300 89.99
And have a coupon for 20% off
Anyway just wondering if it would be a big difference between these two if connected to data 2 ports.
My SIG rig has only sata 2
My laptop however does have sata 3
Just wanted some more opinions on the difference in performance in both data but specially data 2.

V200 Reads up to 300MB/s and Writes: up to 190MB/s
The speeds wont be noticed too much on a sata2 as that's about the max speeds you will get with the sata 2 controller, but the main point is the asynchronous nand used in the V200s.
V300 Reads up to: 450MB/s Writes: up to: 450MB/s on sata 3
not using asynchronous.
For the small difference in price it makes sense to get the 300, also better resale value.

I was wondering about my dell inpiron n5110. I believed the ports on the mothetboard is sata3 but am not sure. Getting mixed answer. Is there a way to check it from windows??

Looks like it has sata 3 . It also seems that your HD might be glued in place.

Hey thanks for that link. Yes it is.
I just got the ssd.
Any suggestions on a good cloning software?
Or should I be okay with the one the drive comes with??

It´s always recommended to do a fresh install if you can , but you should be fine with the cloning software that comes with it , looks like they ship with Acronis.
