Hi,

I am currently shopping SSDs at staples (Have some coupons) and wanted to know which of the following SSD would be best. I plan on adding another in the near future but I'd like to put my OS and games on the SSD for now. I have a regular HDD for photos and stuff. They all look the same spec wise. Visiontek is known for graphics cards but I know they're not the big in SSD. Would they still be good? Thanks!

For those wondering, I am choosing 2x 120 instead of a 240 because I can get them significantly cheaper this way.($60 to $80 off each one of the prices I've posted) plus 6% tax

I have your # 3 & 4. Got them for $80 each back in November. Have worked flawlessly since then.

The current winner is the Samsung 840 and 840 Pro.

Unfortunately, the 840 is much more expensive than these options. (They will only cost me about $40-50 when I buy these). Thanks for the response though! Anyone else have an opinion too? I'd like to get a few and I'll pick between the most liked/trusted.
