Hi guys, I'm looking for the cheapest and most reliable SSD drive available right now: I'm talking about a fairly small - 120 gigs at most, 60 gigs at least - disk that I'm going to use on a old laptop of mine, which only has a SATA 2 port.
Given the limitations of the hardware of the notebook, I'm aware that the performance will by quite the same with all of the current SATA 3 SSDs (Am I wrong?) so I'm focusing mostly on reliability and price.
At the moment, the ones I'm considering are:
1. Kingston SSDNow V300 (model number: SV300S37A/120G V300), which is the cheapest one at 50€ (68$) for the 120GB model
2. Crucial M500 (MNr: CT120M500SSD1), the priciest one, at 69€ (roughly 95$) for the 120GB
3. SanDisk SSD (MN: SDSSDP-128G- G25) at 59€ (80$) for 128 gigs of storage
4. Samsung 840 Evo, (MN: P-MZ-7TE120BW-3), 120 gigs for 64€ (87$)
I do know that on paper the Samsung is the best one, but considering the SATA 2.0 ports I have to connect the drive to, is it really worth the price?
