Hi, i'm planning to add in a SSD but it's quite expensive in my country(currency differences).

I'm stuck between these two: Kingston 120gb V300 and Kingston 120gb HyperX 3k.

Is there a big difference between these two, can the difference be ignore?
Or is there other prominent brand?

I'm no expert in SSD.

V300 has several variations out there. Distinctly the original used faster NAND flash, unannounced they switched to a slower version.

HyperX 3K are their flagship consumer class. If the price difference is minor I would get the HyperX.

(I have a 240GB running my media box, no complaints there)
Very few people can notice the difference in speed between SSD's.

QUALITY is what's most important so perhaps bring up both products on the same site and compare customer feedback. If you have pcpartpicker that can help.

So I'd just get the cheapest SSD that seems to be reasonable quality (no known bricking potential).

Samsung and Crucial are the best.
