I have the kingston v300 240 gig ordered right now as its in my price range but people are telling me they are as slow as a HD. So these others are in my price range so i am waiting for ncix to open so i can change my order before it ships.

Indeed do not get the Kingston V300. The crucial MX100 is by far a superior choice.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

From a pure cost to performance price, the MX100 hands down. 500~+ reads, 300 write and 256GB worth of storage for under 120 dollars.

yea thats the one i am going to order soon as they open still have like a hour before they are open

Not a bad deal, I wish this stuff existed a few years ago since my 120GB SSD was 250 dollars and that was considered "cheap" back then.

The M500 is obsolete. Too expensive if it's more than the MX100 which replaces it. Kingston is problematical. Known issues. The Plextor is a fine drive. Basically use the MX100 as the benchmark. If it is as fast or faster and cheaper, buy that one. BTW, I'd look at someplace that can do better in pricing, like by about $10 or so.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!
