Help to choose SSD

[k88]

Friends, I have no time to choose an ssd, my main HDD is dying, and I need an ssd for upgrade, I only need 250GB to OS, I don´t have to many files I have an external hard drive for it, this is what I got so far:

You dont need 240 for OS.
120 should do fine and cost under 100

Right now most review sites will tell you Samsung EVOs and Kingston HyperX offer best lifespan and speeds. If you dont want the ladder I suggest something decent with a sandforce controller.

Samsung and Intel have what is seemingly best in class reliability. Kingston, I would not touch since they were found to be running a bait&switch on their SSD units earlier this year.

+1 for a Samsung EVO for the price.
