When it comes to an SSD dive,the Intel makes the best. They are the top maker of the NAND chips used in these drives, but they keep the best chips for their own drives and sell the rest off. Furthermore, they have the best firmware for the sandforce controller used in the majority of these drives.
Spend a little extra and go with an Intel 330 or 520 series. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167127

If you aren't in a hurry, watch Ben's Bargains. NewEgg, Tiger Direct, and the other big players post deals there on a regular basis.
