Looking to sell my 1TB Samsung Evo and downsize to a Small SSD for booting Windows as I feel a 1TB SSD is largely wasted on gaming and would be perfectly happy keeping my steam folder on a 7200rpm HDD and getting some cash back :)

So what's currently the best value 120 - 250GB SSD?

Thanks

Any of these will do with the MX100 being the best money/performance at the moment:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1) £86.99
1 x Crucial BX100 250GB SSD SATA 6Gbps 7mm Solid State Drive (CT250BX100SSD1) £84.98
1 x SK Hynix 256GB SSD SH910A SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (HFS256G32MNB-2201A) £84.98
Total : £266.56 (includes shipping : £8.00).



If you're not fussed on speed, the BX100 would be a good choice but there's only a few ££ difference!
 
I was thinking about the Crucial MX100 and can get a 128GB for a little over £50, trying to workout if an extra £30 is worth it for the 256GB model when all I'll use it for is Windows and a few apps. I do also like the Magician software that comes with Samsungs and I don't think Crucial as anything similar.

I'm hoping to get back £220 on a 3 month old 1TB Samsung 840 Evo, is this realistic?
