reliability, speed, trim support
depends on how much room you need as well
small ssd + hdd?
full system on ssd?
lots of stuff on ssd + hdd?

samsung evo 120GB is a good starting point + hdd

Cheap, as in how cheap?

Size also matters.

Great value for the price 256 GB.

Mainly to put my OS onto.. and the drivers of course. So I was looking at 64 - 128 + 2 hdd I already have.

Whoa....$107 for a 256GB SSD? Great find ! I may have to pick one up.

Yoplait95 :

Get nothing smaller than a 128GB. Or the above mentioned Crucial 256GB.

These are the one's my store sells the most of.

I would recommend the Samsung Evo

I may be purchasing the Evo 120.. rather 2.

I have heard that Kingston pulled some part swapping with their SSD after reviews so their out (sadly)

I only recommend the V300 as the cheapest alternative to my customers that really want an SSD but can barely fit one in their budget.
