which ssd to buy???

[Black_Hawk]

i've got 90$ and i want to buy a 120GB SSD to install the W7 OS on it, i was bouncing on newegg between few ssd's but few of them have bad reviews saying that they die in less then 3 months and i really need it to be reliable. i chose these Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW - 90$, Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW120A4K5 - 90$, Intel 530 Series SSDSC2BW120A401 - 80$, Crucial MX100 CT128MX100SSD1 - 75$, Corsair Force LS Series CSSD-F120GBLS - 90$. intel and crucial didnt have any negative reliability reviews but i dont know anything about ssd's so i need help choosing the most reliable and fast ssd in these options, or in this price range. thanks earlier.

intel has the best ssd for reliability but you will see ssd with better preformance than intel.

yeah but i don't want it to die in 2 months after i buy it even if it has outstanding performance it should have reliability too. so i should go for the intel 530?

because you are seeking reliability yes go with intel.i have 840 evo 256 gb and it has not failed 6 months now.

I normally recommend Samsung solid state drives. They perform extremely well and have a proven track record. SanDisk and Crucial are also worth considering. I used to recommend Intel but their ssd's are expensive.

I maintain the ssd database listed in a sticky at the very top of this forum section. Here is the link"
