Hi the World; if you had a chance to buy a Solid State Hard Drive for reliability and speed; which one would you choose. (I was thinking about a Kingston; Crucial and Samsung; without knowing the facts) Please give me an answer to the best of your ability.

So you mean an SSD (Solid State Drive)

Unless you want the fastest drive on the block, pretty much any SSD will do

Which size are you looking for? 256GB is the current sweet spot for performance (SSD's scale as they get bigger) but both 128/256 have decent size/price ratios

Reliability I would look towards Seagate, Crucial, Intel, Kingston, Sandisk, Samsung at the top, Adata is okay (personal experience they they lack customer support), Mushkin imo fail a lot. OCZ is okay too though I would wait for the Toshiba buy out to settle down some more.

Here is a US list for 128/256 ssd's sorted by price/size

So the Crucial M500 is decent but mid range, same with the Ultra Plus and the Seagate 600 and Kingston V300. The Samsung 840 EVO has a SLC (fastest type of flash) cache so it does well in normal situations. So out of the pack it is the fastest
