3. Lite-on MU 3 120GB
4. Toshiba Q300 120GB
5. WD Green SSD 120GB
That's it, others are expensive

Of those, none.
Up your budget a bit and look towards a 240/250GB. 6 months from now, you will thank me.

Expensive is when you buy something and it does not work for you.

120gb is too small for a windows drive today.
You will only have 110gb or so useable, and when the drive fills to about 90% capacity, it will slow down and lose endurance.
240gb would be the minimum.

Then, as to brands, today, the Samsung 850 evo will perform better and be more reliable.

Also, Samsung has a good and free ssd migration aid to move your C drive to their ssd.

All of those do offer 240/250 GB but which brand to go for among those

Of those, I would go for a Samsung 850 EVO or Crucial MX300.

Yes, I know...:lol:
But that's what I would do.

While I agree with everyone that a >120GB would be a smarter option, provided you know what you're getting into (keeping it well below 90% full etc) and pair it with a decent sized HDD, it can work.

All of the SSDs you listed are very mcuh 'budget' options and, while they'll not perform anywhere close to a 'premium' SSD like an 850 EVO, they should still show a substantial improvement over a traditional HDD.

Depending on your location, I'd suggest an A-Data SP550 for a 'budget' SSD..... I've used them quite often, they're decent yet nothing spectacular.
In the US, they're around $50 currently: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/qf98TW/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asp550ss3120gmc

The ADATA SU800 is a decent offering too. $80 for a 256GB

3 year warranty, which isn't great - but is not limited (last I checked) to TBW etd, unlike most others.

Ultimately, for a 'budget' SSD, just make sure it's backed by a worthwhile warranty. SSD Plus, CS1311, HyperX and AMD R7 drives are usually the cheapest of the bunch..... and, while far from the best, are still worthwhile upgrades (IMO) on a budget.

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is not so expensive in India. The 120 GB is around 6599 (99$) and the 250 GB is around 6800 (102$). Yes the 120 GB is expensive compared to 250 GB. But 250GB is much cheaper compared to the superiority.

See here 120GB:-

And the 250GB:--

What about Samsung 750 evo? it looks like in my budget

 

[CyberBlade]

Yes the 750 EVO is the lower cost version of 850 EVO. The performance is close . But it uses a lower MTBF somehow slower than 850 EVO. As you are on an extremely tight budget you can go for it.
