    Go for the OCZ Vertex4 over the latter, the Marvell MLC and controller are a class apart from the controller based offerings.

     

    Benchruns --> SAMSUNG 840 v. OCZ Vertex4.

     

    ^^ Above benchmarks show that the SAMSUNG SSD based off their own MLC design is faster than a greased weasel in the benchmarks but the Vertex4 catches up where it is needed (4K random read / write performance), also I have no idea how reliable the former's controller and MLC are (being so new).

     

    Hope this helps, Cheerio!

    Thanks. I have around $710 in Amazon store credit. Original plan was to use 200 on SSD and rest 500 on a GPU. Now that I'm getting a GPU in April-May, don't know how much longer I can hold onto those 500 if they drop something irresistible on BF. And I guess importing a GPU without someone to take it with him defeats the whole purpose of it, as the total cost again comes real close to Indian pricing.

     

     

    And my brother can always give me 200-300 bucks when needed. So it's highly likely that I'll buy something else too on BF. Maybe not PC related. :devil:

     

     

    BTW, I somehow feel more comfortable with the Samsung brand for storage devices(read hard drives). Never heard of OCZ before looking for a SSD>

    I'm getting either Samsung 840 series or OCZ Vertex 4 series(both new launches). Hopefully 256GB. Both are at $200 now, but should go for a $20-30 discount at BF.

    The router has a very special feature called download master, it allows one to download directly to a ext storage device without keeping the pc running, try it :fear:

    Oh, that I know(without that name of "download master"). Have never felt the need to try it. Why don't you look for some impressions of that feature on Google?

    PS: Is that feature available in DD-WRT too?

    Same customer care says that too. It's available in your area :\

     

    And i am getting disconnected from BSNL too. Just 2days :\ more. Then won't have Internet like for few weeks :\

     

    Edit : Also, i have a strong feeling that those guys going to say the same thing to me. " Sorry sir , not possible to have a connection at this place " :|

    I heard that they once tried giving broadband in my area, but some local lafange stole the cables, right from those poles. And now they don't provide it. Bihar ka kuch nahi ho sakta.

    ^^ Tell Amazon to mark it as a gift, this is to further make sure that no one acts like a 'ghanta' at Customs.

     

    Till Q2 2013 you can expect AMD HD8*** series to out, not so sure on nVidia's response. This is because nVidia yields on moving to new manufacturing nodes is miserly at best of times.

    Well, Amazon doesn't ship SSDs to India, so this will be my first SnS purchase. They'll charge $10 for shipping, plus customs, if any. Will certainly be worth it imo.
