Best 120gb SSD?

[Masterdeadly]

Hello,

I'm looking for an SSD that has around 120gb's of space, what should I be looking to buy ? I've been recommended this by a friend http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-009-CR but I don't know what makes a good SSD. Any help would be appreciated.

According to PC pro's A list the Crucial M4 is recommended.

M4 is always recommended, the Vertex 4 is faster/new - but I'd still go for the M4 as it's a bit cheaper, and still very fast!

Vertex 4 has a 15%+ upper hand on the M4 but it also is £20 more.

Id personally go with the Vertex 4 just because its newer however reliability has not yet been proven on the V4 (im sure its perfectly fine) so for peace of mind the m4 is probably the way forward,

+1 for the M4.

Not sure if it's the best but they're coming out soon so they must be good I'd assume ? Intel 330 Series 120GB

330 series is essentially a cut down 520 series unit.

+1 for the M4.

Another vote for the M4. I've just bought my 2nd one

Out of curiosity, what are everybodies views on the Samsung 830 series?

i have the m4 and love it but im going to get a vertex 4 256gb for my main rig and put the m4 in the laptop. i think the vertex 4 is going to be the bomb. (in a good way)

The M4 has a history of reliability compared to the relatively new Vertex 4 which hasn't been around for long enough to gain such a reputation.

Love my M4, Bought on the basis everybody rated it!

Great stuff, finding answers to a question I haven't even asked yet

Cut down in what way?
Is the 520 inferior? If so, please tell.
