Hey!
I'm looking for a decent 120GB SSD to have my OS (Win8.1) on.
My budget is about $75 (can most likely stretch slightly if I have to) and I'm trying to stay away from unknown makes.

Thanks.

I also agree. The Samsung 840 EVO is very reliable drive I think it is worth the investment to pay slightly more.

I should be able to stretch to that.
This is the one you mean, right?

I normally recommend Samsung solid state drives. Samsung ssd's perform exceptionally well and have a proven track record. Intel, Crucial, and Plextor are also worth considering. Lately the new SanDisk ssd's have been coming on strong.

I maintain the ssd database listed in a sticky at the very top of this forum section. Here is the link:

Scroll down to the brands and models you are interested in and follow the links to the technical reviews.
