Ssd choice

[htoontm]

Hello,

I am in the market for SSD. My budget is up to $ 250. I currently have intel ssd x25 M160 gb. I have been using for more than 2 years without any issue.

My current system does not have sata 3 interface but I plan to upgrade my system. SSD will be for boot drive.

My main priority is speed and reliability. There are so many ssd options and i would like to get your inputs and recommendations.

Thank you.

the mushkin chronos deluxe 240Gb is a great drive. not only does it use top-quality nand(it uses the same nand as vertex 3 max iops), but it is usually at the 1$ per GB mark. another great drive would be the crucial m4 256gb.
