The only things I care about anymore with SSD's is price, and to a much lesser extent, warranty. Don't get me wrong, I love them. Would not own a computer without one. But as far as performance, in real world applications, I cannot tell a difference. I have used Intel 330's 500's, ADATA, C500, Vertex 2 and 3. Other than synthetic benchmarks, I cannot tell a difference. If I build a computer for a friend or family member, I get on Amazon and find the cheapest 128GB drive I can.
They are all 100 times faster than a Hard Drive.
