Looking for a SSD for my computer to run Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit so i will be looking for a SSD no greater that 60gb.

Which one do you reccommend?

cruicial m4 but y only 60 gig

A 128GB drive would be better value for money.

With most SSDs there's also a significant performance increase with the larger drives.

Of the drives that are still available at ~60GB the M4 is a safe bet.

Crucial M4 or Samsung 830/840 Pro.

No others to be honest.

the 64gb crucial m4 has poor speeds imo,better off going for the 128gb version or the faster samsung 830 drive

A Samsung 840 non-pro would be fine.

Samsung 830, well worth it.

840 samsung. I've had an m4 but the samsung "feels" slightly faster.

I'm curious why the 120GB is lacking 8GB... but the Pro has the missing 8GB.

They use different types of NAND.

The non-Pro version reserves more space to compensate for the lower write endurance of the TLC NAND it uses. See the various reviews for the details.

Before I buy any hardware, I look for relevant threads. I find advice and opinions useful when making a decision on what to buy, it doesn't really matter if the OP's question was a month or two ago.
