What SSD - sub £100?

[JJ!]

Looking for SSD - probably around 128GB for my laptop.

It's primary use will be the usual internet use and adobe creative suite. Not a gaming PC in any way.

Looking online, there are load to choose from starting at £40 and going up to £100+

Ideally looking for under £100.

Any recomendations would be great.

Stick with Intel and Samsung brand wise.

They are all around the £100 price bracket

Never had a problem with the OCZ ones, might be worth a look at.

Stick to Intel / Samsung as suggested. OCZ have the highest failure rate. Although this is due to the Vertex 2 and Agility 2 series hooky Sandforce controller, still don't really trust the newer drivers.

Have a look at auctions on eBay too and specify new items, picked up a 180gb Intel 520 for £82 and they're about £160 retail, result! Samsung are good but the TLC isn't as reliable as the MLC in the Intel's, this is reflected in the 3 vs 5 year warranty! Heard good things about OCZ but apparently they've not quite ironed out the kinks in their sandforce controllers, I think the new series use a different controller though! Also the crucial drive is a very solid bet as well!
