Good SSD brand

[Mondra]

Just being careful, are there any brands I should stay away from?

Also, I'm looking for a good, 120 gb SSD that is good/not too expensive. Any suggestions?

Crucial MX100

+1 for MX100.

And stay away from Kingston and PNY.

I would suggest the Samsung EVO that you have your eye on currently.

The 850 is one of the best on the market.

Good choice.

I'd say go with a Crucial or Samsung.
Stay away from ssds with sandforce controllers.

I am currently running a Samsung 850 Pro 1tb, its nice.

I know you said 120GB ssd, but you can get a good 240Gb if you find a good sale. What is the intended use of this SSD? Just as a boot drive?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I always use a Samsung SSD for my OS.

 

[Mondra]

ye, mainly boot drive, mainly add a game or two.

 

[fixer762]

Yeah then 120gb is about all you need for 2 games plus OS. Assuming the games are small.

 

[Mondra]

Well problem solved, thanks. Milkshakes for everyone!

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

You can't go wrong with a Samsung SSD.

Samsung 840 evo/pro, 850 evo/pro
Crucial m500/550, mx100/200, bx100

The 850 evo and mx100 are probably the best value for money.

Not a big fan of SanDisk, PNY, Kingston, OCZ
