SSD's are incredibly varied in their performance, price, reliability etc. The ideal SSD for you will depend on your lifestyle and not just on your budget. Here at the forums, i can look at your lifestyle and recommend the drives that would fit your needs best, unlike Tom's own "best SSD for the money" article that spits out product names for their perception of price/performance.

Please tell me in detail how you use your PC, or if you fit these demographics,
1)The casual enthusiast. You like fast PCs. You do light gaming and overclocking. You spend a lot of time on your PC doing a lot of light tasks, and have a few programs open simultaneously most of the time.

2) The Hard Boiled Gamer. You OC and game as your primary hobby. You seek the absolute pinnacle of FPS and general PC speed that your money can afford.

3) The Graphics Pro. You use Adobe and CAD and stuff often. You need a capable PC for your work (or hobby). You often have MANY programs open at any given time.

4) The above average Joe. You like quick PCs, but don't meddle much with them 'cause you got other things to do in life.
