Never had an ssd and am looking for a solid entry ssd as stated in title.
I need suggestions on a cheap 120 gb ssd that will not give me any pains, so if it turns out to be one with "older" but proven technology I'm ok with that.

OK! Based on your budget you could get either a 128GB mid-level ssd or a 256 GB entry level ssd.

If you are in the USA, the 128 GB Samsung 840 EVO is usually on sale for about $89.99:

The brand new Crucial MX100 128GB drive is available for about $79.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148819

The larger capacity 256 GB ssd's will cost a little more. Currently prices start at about $115.99 but every once in a while we have seen sale prices as low as $89.99 or $99.99. The most popular entry level ssd is the Kingston SSDNow V300 which is on sale today for $94.99 with the special promotion code which ends tonight...

Personally i think that the Crucial and the corsair one is a really good deal.

the 840 evo is the one i have and its awesome. I think your best bet is the Crucial or the corsair for that price.

Vustin - Which type of ssd are you looking for - Standard 2.5 inch SATA 3, mSATA, PCIe, or M.2 NGFF? Is it for a desktop pc or a mobile pc? What do you do with your pc - gaming or professional work? If it is for professional work, then what type of work? How cheap - what is your budget? Your answers will influence recommendations.

Standard 2.5 SATA 3. Will be a gaming and light video editing desktop build. Would like to keep it under 90

Prices change quite often - sometimes daily. In addition to Newegg you can check sale prices at Amazon.com and www.logicbuy.com. There have not been a large number of sales the past two weeks. Monday, September 1st is Labor Day. It is a holiday weekend so I expect we will see some good prices next weekend.

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 and follow the links to the technical reviews.
