Purchase SSD SATA III Notebook Replacement Drive

[joshhazel]

I need a quick replacement SSD drive for my notebook, the drive went from 0 to 7 to 13 to 31 reallocated sectors in the last 48 hours. I need this for school and looking for a good drive for a good price.

The drive has to be at least 120GB and I am looking less than $150 (unless there is a ridiculous good deal)

These are four on sale and was hoping to see what others knew/could tell me about them as far as which to choose:

If anyone knows of any other good sales going on that would be great. It looks like a good deal runs about $1 / GB.

Regards

Hello,

What previous SSD did you have? I'm just curious myself.

I've heard really good things about the Mushkin Enhanced Chronos, so that wouldn't be too bad of choice.

Edit: How about a Crucial M4?

I currently own this exact one...it's been quite reliable. Please note it's the 7mm version - so it is extra thin, versus the regular 9mm SSD's/HDDs.

I had a regular HDD (Notebook: Portege R705-p35) it was not an SSD. I think the SSD would help me avoid the fact that this one only lasted over a year.

At the price of the one you (seems to have slower write speed) linked I would almost bump up a few more $$ to go with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820249014&Tpk=Plextor%20M3%20Series%20PX-128M3

This one has a 5yr warranty and 500/500 read/write speeds

However, the original 4 i linked also have 500/500 read/write speeds as well.

It would be nice to find one with those speeds around the $120 price range and have a 5 yr warranty.

After looking at reviews and pricing the Mushkin does look like a pretty good deal
