Hi guys . Need a little help choosing a new ssd boot drive .There as so many quality drives availble now for under £100 but what one is the best for that amount ?

Looking for no less than 50gb really .

Crucial C300 64GB for Sata 6Gb/s - £85

OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB for SATA II - under £90
Corsair F60 60GB for SATA II - under £90

Corsair F80 80GB - £113 - I would opt for this one at this budget tbh
OCZ Vertex 2E 80GB 25nm for SATA II - if you can stretch to £120 ish

You could also have a look for some used 128GB drives.

Go for either of the OCZ ones if you need fast reading and writing they're amazing. If you're mostly concerned about reading times then the crucial might be your best option

Corsair drives are essentially the same SSDs as OCZ ones, aren't they?

I haven't seen actual benchmark comparisons of the two. But from what I have read on some forums the OCZ ones are supposed to be somewhat faster
