Im looking for a budget SSD for my laptop. Its running well, but is a little sluggish on start up and opening large files.
The laptop is a few years old, so only has a SATA-II connection. Further details are in my signature. I dont need something lightning fast, just something something reliable & cheep!
I need 120GB or more.

I've just ordered the 'extreme' version of that same ssd, supposed to be quite a bit faster but i've heard good things about the reliability of sandisk ssd's so you cant go wrong with that one.

I recently bought two of these, put one in an old Viao laptop now it flys. Whether it is reliable remains to be seen, its the cheapest SSD available so fingers crossed.
Gonna put the other in my htpc for the same affect.

For reliability I would go for the Crucial m4 128gb. Read an endurance test recently and that drive passed 900TB
