I've currently been leaning towards the PNY CS1311.

There are standard 2.5 inch, 256GB, SATA 3, 6Gb/s, ssd's available for $59.99. Sometimes you can find them on sale for $54.99. Most of them are entry level value drives. If you are in the USA and have another $18.00, Newegg has the Samsung 850 EVO 256GB model on sale for $88.30 and free shipping this weekend:

I maintain an ssd database listed in a sticky at the very top of this forum section. Here is the link:

Scroll down to the SATA 3 6Gb/s section where you will find the PNY model you are interested in along with many other brands and models. The database provides basic information and links to technical reviews. Follow the links to the technical reviews. The reviews are divide into two sections - English language reviews and reviews in many other languages. This is strictly a hobby so there is no advertising.
