I am looking for a good 120gb SSD under $50 USD. I originally was looking at the kingston v300, because of its popularity. Then searched some benchmarks, and realized the the uv400 was faster, but the hyper x fury was even faster, and it only costs an extra $5! So, would this be a good choice for an SSD in my desktop? I would clone it and put everything on it for now, because im using less than 120gb. THANKS!!

It's decent. I'm partial to Samsung SSDs so I would try to look for a 120GB / 250GB 840 / 850 Evo. The 250GB 850 Evo currently retails for about $70 and it's one of the best on the market currently. The other ones I would recommend are anything from Crucial, and the OCZ Trion series isn't bad.

I like the fury , own 3 of them myself.
Good drive for the money ,right in the middle performance/price wise.

The fury uses mlc nand , the v300 & uv400 use TLC.

On paper mlc is faster & has a far longer lifespan of write cycles, in the real world it makes little difference.
