Recommendations for a 500GB SSD for games with a ~$120 budget?

[HolyFlanders]

With the size of games getting larger and larger, I've found that I can't have more than one game installed on my modest 128GB SSD boot drive, so I'm looking to get a SSD purely for installing games and nothing else. As the title states, my budget is $120, but I'd be willing to go closer to $130 if needed.

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

Personally I'm not such a stickler for drive choice on non-critical drives......so if it does crash, the biggest pain is re-downloading them again. Back it up to a $40 HDD though, and you wouldn't have to worry about that either.....

Looks good to me, heck, that A-Data is less than $110 on Amazon.

Thank you, sir.

I would go with Crucial over ADATA.

I would go with Crucial over ADATA.

My financial situation at the moment means that saving those 10 bucks is an absolute boon to me right now. I don't mind terribly if it doesn't last too long, as no crucial (heh) data will be lost. I will (hopefully) be in a position where replacement will a non issue by that time.

I appreciate the input, though!

The quality of the CRUCIAL is far superior , but I understand.
