The Samsung 840 EVO. Intel SSDs are a lot more expensive.

The intel is more reliable, but the 840 evo is more cost affective. Got a 840 evo 120gb and it have been working great

The evo drive will be faster. But you also can't go by sequential read and writes like everyone in the world seems to do. Just because an ssd says 560 writes or 550 reads does not mean it will come even close to that. I learned that the hard way. Look at reviews, look at real world tests. There is a reason everyone raves about samsung evo drives. Not saying intel drives are slower than advertised but many brands are.

MX100

 

Yeah, a third option that you might want to look at would be the mx100 from crucial.

Wanna hang out with me and people like @Theslsamg, @ Ssoele, @BENTHEREN, @Lanoi, @Whiskers, @_ASSASSIN_, @Looney, @WunderWuffle, and @nsyedhasan. Well.... Check out: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/48484-unofficial-linustechtips-teamschnitzel-server-teamspeak/
