SSD - helped needed choosing

[welshdragon]

Guys,

This ahs been done loads so apologies but I'm getting really confused now. Think I'm going to get an SSD to upgrade my system which one would you recommend?

Looking at 120gig which should be sufficient.

Kinda looking at the Intel 510 Elmcrest or the crucial M4.

What do people think or should I be looking at something different altogether? The corsair force series 3 looks good with slightly betetr speeds?

Also, the intel one recently had shogun 2 free, either of these drives available anywhere with a freebie, as I'm spending the money.

Also going to do a fresh install. DO I just plug and go like a normal HD or do I need to enable any specfic modes in the bios?

Yeah, go for the Crucial or the Intel, they're both great, fast and reliable drives. Make sure you enable ahci in the bios to get the most out of your SSD as I increased the read speed for 300MB/s to 415MB/s of my M4 simply by setting it to that and not IDE.
