Hi, I will be buying a ssd but i'm not sure which one i should get. I am not from the US so I will just convert the prices....

 

Corsair Force LX 128gb - $87

 

Intel 530 120gb - $90

 

Crucial M500 120gb - $86

 

Kingston V300 120gb - $73

 

Plextor M5s 120gb - $85

 

Kingston HyperX 3K 120gb - $85

 

Samsung 840 Evo - $100

 

They are all around the same price except the kingston v300, so which one would be better? Warranty? How long will they last?

Intel or Samsung - high durability, their own design controllers, so with Samsung or Intel software they will work even better, high speeds even after few years (my girlfriends laptop is running Intel 530 for more than 2 years), better memmory cell system.

 

I have Crucial too, but no software for optimizing it and it is slower than my Intel 330 SSD.

Intel i7 2600 @ 4.2 Ghz | MSI Z77-GD55 | Crucial 16 GB DDR3 RAM 1600Mhz | Intel 330 SSD 180Gb | Western Digital Black 1Tb | Western Digital Green 2Tb | Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti | OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W | Thermaltake Commander MS-I case | OS X Yosemite | Dell Vostro 3550 Windows 10

Crucial MX100... It's the cheapest option and plenty fast and reliable.

Dude intel is not wroth it. Its sandforce garbage with intel badge slapped on it. Not worth it at all.

For a little bit more you get TWICE the capacity with Crucial.

 

And remember folks. Crucial and Intel have the same NAND, as they have joint venture for flash manufactioring :)

All my experience is with Samsung and they have been awesome,  Can't work out why it is more exy where you are though.
