320 160GB or 510 120GB - Which one fits my needs best?

Hey there!

I'm about to get one of the upper mentioned drives but I'm not yet sure which one.

The MOST important thing to me is the application startup performance. The faster

the application pops up the happier I am 🙂

In terms of 4k performance the 320 is better than the 510 but nevertheless the 510

boots up faster than the 320, which is afaik also a 4k related process.

I'm confused - any help?

Thanks!

320: 10 sec

510: 8,5 sec

=> 15% difference

It's 2s though....

510 (6Gb/s) vs 320 (3Gb/s): http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/357?vs=359 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/357?vs=359

510 is better at sequential but 320 is better at random.
