128GB SSD, which one?

I'll be using this SSD to install Windows 7 64Bit/OS Partition only.

I've been focused on Crucial mainly, I've looked at the 128GB MX100 at £52 and 128GB M550 at £61. Anyone say which is probably best going for? considering the price/performance too..

you can get 256GB MX100 for 65, no contest there.

Really? I've checked, the cheapest is £80 I think.

it goes on and off sale almost every week.

if you need to buy now, 65 buys you 240GB m500, which is still better than any SSD in 120GB region.

Ugh, I might just wait then, until one of the MX100/M550 goes on sale for the 256GB.

I believe there is no way I'm going to be able to get a 256GB MX100/M550 Crucial for around the £65 mark, it won't happen. I think there was a site doing a Black Friday deal for MX100 256GB at £59.99 and it was finished/claimed within 3 minutes.

Out of the two 128GB's above, which would you go for? I won't be putting much on these anyway, just need it for it's performance really, I got x2 1TB Seagate HDD's for my everyday content.

You're right, I'm wrong, 240GB M500 purchased at £64.98. This is miles better than any other 128GB SSD like you said.

I had a look here http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Search?searchTerm=brand:Crucial then I realised lol!

If only I could've got the MX100/M550 256GB (at around £65) I would've been really satisfied, but oh well, beats this 5 year old Hitachi drive I'm using at the moment lol!
