Hey guys, I've never used a SSD before, and complete novice when it comes to it, could you suggest some good models and what are the things that I should look for while buying an SSD, and I'm from India.

I normally recommend Samsung ssd's. The company has a proven track record. Plextor and SanDisk are also worth considering. Lately the SanDisk Extreme II has made a good showing.

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.

Samsung has made installation and optimization relatively painless for novice users. Once Windows is installed just use the SSD Magician that comes with the ssd.
