RE: 240GB SSD?
Samsung 840 (or the Pro if you can afford it and have SATA3). Crucial M4 or the newer C500 Where are you based? www.staticice.com.auhttp://www.staticice.com.au is pretty good for locating stores/prices/stock. Then just pick a place close to you...

Hi, What's a good, fast and reliable SSD these days? My old HDD from my home workstation decided it's that time of it's lifetime when work is no longer on its books so I need to replace it. PS Maybe also a place I could buy it and pick it up today. Thanks, Corneliu.
Re: 240GB SSD?
MSY usually is quite price competitive. I have an OCZ vertex and am happy with it. I once fiddled with moving temp files placing to a SATA drive, now I don't bother. With enough ram you can also do without a swap file. Here's some reviews: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/vertex-450-256gb-review,3517-6.html - Stuart Kinnear On 9 August 2013 08:46, Corneliu I.

Re: 240GB SSD?
I've still got my old HYPER-X pair and they give solid 450-500 Mb/s read and write each and 1000 in RAID0. I've read about the Samsung and OCZ Vertex and these + the latest Hyper X versions is what I'd look at.

We've had a really good run with a bunch of Crucial M4s. They are up to 960GB now and all are SATA3.
