I think the OP would be better off with a better SSD myself.  You shouldn't have to cheap out at this budget.

The only advantage the SK Hynix SSD that @podkall linked is DRAM cache. The Silicon Power SSD uses a SLC controller to buffer the cache just like the WD SN770.

UD90's SLC cache isn't covering lot of area and the fuller the drive is the less cache you have
