Hi, I'm going to buy a laptop, a Lenovo T420-QS0 and I'll install an OCZ Vertex 4 512GB SSD. will it run perfectly?, or should I install a lower capacity of SSD?

why I choose a 512GB? coz my 'job' said.."..dude, you need more huge capacity and speed"

so, I need advice.. will that Vertex 4 512GB compatible for Lenovo T420-QS0 ?

Thanks in Advance.

I've heard of issues with Vertex 4 compatibility with laptops. You'd might be better off with a Samsung 830 or a Crucial M4.

yea, Crucial M4 is the best SSD so far

but impossible to got Crucial here in Indonesia.

I'm still curious, is that 512GB SSD will Compatible with Lenovo T420-QS0???
if so, I'll order the Crucial M4 512GB SSD from Amazon
I need advice from anyone here who has ever experienced

Actually, both Samsung 830 and Vertex 4 are significantly faster than M4 while having similar reliability and Samsung 830 even uses slightly less power than M4. The problem with the Vertex 4s is that they often has problems with laptops and the problem with the 830s is that they're usually expensive.
