Recommendations for SSD's around and under 100$

So i just wanted to ask the community for recommendations for SSD's under 100$. I'm willing to go to like around 110$ as well. Heres one i found that looks nice and has a decent amount of storage.

If you can tell me if that's a decent buy that would be great. Because its 240GB for 100$ after rebate... 

 

Thanks you for your time and help.

 

Specs (if needed):

MSI970-G43

16GB 1600MHZ

Sapphire R9 270 2GB

630W Rosewill PS

500GB Primary WD drive

The Samsung 120gb 840 evo is around that price and has great performance.

Are you looking at the 128GB range, or 256GB range?

 

128GB:

256GB:

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct256mx100ssd1 - $106.81

 

The 256GB is pretty low end (MX100 from Crucial), but it's still a good budget drive if you want more than 128GB of storage on your SSD.

Build: CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k | CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo | Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | RAM: 8GB G-Skill Ares 1600Mhz CL9 | Storage: 120GB Samsung 840 Evo + WD Blue 1TB 64MB Cache + Seagate Barracuda 2TB 64MB Cache | GPU: MSI GTX 960 | Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer | Power Supply: EVGA 600B Non-Modular |

Yeah i was thinking about that one too. But this 240GB PNY looks like a to good a deal to not consider. What do you think about it?

Hmm okay. That crucial SSD looks good. But what do you think about that PNY 240GB one?

One of my desktops currently run on that SSd and I have been nothing but satisfied with it.

He MX100 is great. The difference is marginal. Get that MX100.

You posted twice about it.

 

The MX100 is the clear winner. It has far more IOPS in both read and write compared to the PNY one.
