I'm getting a 128GB Samsung 830 for $120. It's really well reviewed and less than $1 a gig is pretty slick.

1) I use reliabilty/least user complaints when choosing an SSD. My Normal choice (from a cost perspecive) is either a Curcial M4 or a Samsung 830 ( may be good, just not a lot of user coments is the Muchins DELUXE).

2) DON'T get caught up in performance ratings. Most higher end SSD, there is only a Nickels worth of performance differnce in real life.
... Munuf use ATTO Benchmark (A HDD benchmark) that uses data that is highly commpressable - Not real life.
.. They Quote the HIGH Sequencial read/write performance. Ba Hum Bug, this is the LEAST important parameter for an OS + Program drive.

3) If not buying yesterday (LOLs) wait for a sale on newegg, both the M4s and the 830s are almost always going on sale.
... Just bought the 256 Gig M4 for $180 on Sunday, but that sale is over. Should have tommarrow.

4) SSDs that use aSync NAND chips (ie Agility III and Muchkins Ehhanced (Not deluxe) should only be bought if (a) must pinch pennies and/or (B) plan on putting on a SATA II port. They perform just as well on sata II as they do on SATA III. What I refer to as a SATA II SSD dressed up as a SATA III SSD.
