Best SSD Sub £100
Hi
Im looking to buy an SSD for my sytem. I've never actually used one before but i know the basics i was just wondering whats the best for sub £100. Im looking for at least 120GB. Operating system and odd programs will be going onto it.
Thanks in advance!
Kingston 120GB HyperX 3K SSD - £68 delivered
Personally I would wait for the January Sale to start, prices are uninspiring at present.
I own a few Samsung 830 drives and can highly recommend them, not their current prices so.

A Samsung 830 128GB or a Crucial M4 128GB.
If you need more storage space intel 330 has a 180GB option, currently £95 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007P3RML...SIN=B007P3RML0
It will be slightly slower than the Samsung, Crucial and Kingston. But is worth considering if the extra 60GB is important to you.
Personally, I have the Samsung 830 and would happily recommend it. Though if you can stretch your budget a little the Samsung 840 Pro is seriously rapid!

Probs go with a samsung 840 (just the normal 128 gb) one, it's around £100 depending on where you get it. They are rapid as said above
There is practically no difference between the 840 and 830 (the 830 actually out performs the 840 under certain scenarios). If the 830 is more than £5 cheaper I'd go for that. I would also imagin that some retailers will be dumping stock of the 830s soon, so you should be able to grab a bargain.Originally Posted by krthush

Cheers for the help i've gone with the Samsung 840!
lol, I asked the exact same question on another forum. Research showed that I can get an Samsung 830 128Gb, or cheapest and still good option would be a 120gb Sandisk Extreme
