    Hello people , Im looking for my first SSD , I have $125 to spend (EUA) , looking alot of review I think Crucial C300 64GB its the best choice , very fast read speed , little low write speed , but I will use the SSD only for OS.

    My motherboard is Asus Rampage III Extreme.

    But I have some questions:

    I need update the SSD Firmware?
    Marvel 9128 SATA 3 or Intel SATA 2? (Marvel read speeds look higher , but some people say the Intel controller is better for stability and random read/write.)
    What modifications I need to make on Windows to run my SSD at full speed?

    Marvel controller have 2 differents drivers , im a little confuse o.o.

    If you guys think have better options of SSD in the market at this price , say please :D

    Thanks.
