All of them are 120gb:
Mushkin Chronos Deluxe MX
Silicon Power Velox 60
Samsung 840 Series
Kingston V300

Or is it better to save more money and buy intel 335 180gb?
It wil be used as a boot (system)drive so all programs will be stored there and maybe some games. 120gb is more then enough for my needs so im interested performance and reliability.

Thank you.

I would recommend the Samsung 840 Series for many reasons.

1. It is affordable.
2. It is one of the most reliable drive on the market (The Most Important Idea In Finding A Good SSD)

3. Yon can find it almost anywhere.
4. There is alot of knowledge about the drive, so any question you have about the drive should be quickly answered.

1: All these SSD are equally priced.
2: I heard it has reduced life spawn because of some method they use.
3: All those ssd's are available to me.
4: What would I need to know about an ssd anyways?

Edit: If I was talking about pro I would have said so. No need to say "non pro"...

Sorry if I insulted you intelligence, I was just trying to answer your question to the best of my abilities with about going into frivolous benchmarks. But answer me this, why ask a question and then get a attitude when someone answers it? Toms Hardware gets alot of noob question how are we suppose to know you have some sort of computer intelliegence.

Why would I be insulted? You made that post not me. The question was simple, if you could pick one of the 4 listed, which one would you choose? I'm grateful for the help.
I compared the v300 to 840 and there was no clear winner. The winner was different for each task.
So would you say the Samsung is more reliable?

See how the Plextor m5 is in price..It's also fast.
I wouldn't rule out 830s either.psst..They're faster than 840s.
