thank you for the respond. i was thinking of the OCZ 240GB Vector 150 SATA 6Gb/s bc is a little bit cheaper. what do you think? or is crucial a better choice?

Crucial and Samsung make the most reliable and fastest SSDs. Samsung is, most of the time, more expensive, so the Crucial is the choice for me.

Second the Crucial MX100 - it's a good, reliable, cheap option. Crucial also have their "Storage Executive" software available as a free download, which will find firmware updates, etc. I would not go for the 128GB, as it will probably feel a bit on the small side - once patched, Windows will use around 30GB on its own (nearly 30% of the usable capacity of a 128GB drive) - I'm at 85GB used on just Windows and applications (GIMP, Lightroom, etc).
