Kingston SSDs

Hi everyone, I know Kingston ssds are rarely recommended on here but I've found a V200 256gb one for sub £100.

My first (and current) SSD is a Kingston 64gb SATA II and it does the job for me.

So does anyone have any strong reasons why I shouldn't go for the above mentioned 256GB version?

Cheers

No just v200
300/230. Not blazing fast but not bad right?!

What about OCZ, are they any good? I've been told their SSD's are reliable, but the company is almost bankrupt and will probably cease trading soon.

I've heard they're poor too. They rarely get recommended in builds in the GH section of this site.
I only trust Kingston because I took a gamble with buying my V100 a long time ago and it has been absolutely fine for me every day since!

edit: to clarify I don't mean I wouldn't trust other brands

. Just haven't ever tried any others!
