Should I get Sandisk Ultra II 120gb SSD comparing to other $75 drives ? I can see alot of threads about Ultra, Ultra Plus and Extreme models here, but no any about Ultra II.
I am looking to Kingston V300, Crucial MX100 or M500, Intel 520 Series too, but seems like this one is the best ?
Thanks.

Intel is overpriced and also a bit behind in tech when it comes to SSDs. They are VERY good in the Enterprise space though.

Corsair does not make any decent up to date SSDs anymore, and even their older units are horribly overpriced.

Meaning the current only modern, reliable, well priced and good performing SSD makers left include, Samsung and Crucial.
