Hello, I'm thinking of buying a good reliable Solid State Drive priced between $100 to $200 Canadian @ ~280GB capacity in replacement for my main hard drive.

If this helps, the motherboard I'm using is an Asus P5N-D; the case I use is an Antec p182; and the operating system is win 7 ultimate 64bit.

I consider myself a hardcore gamer wannabe, a rookie level technical enthusiast, as well as a C and C++ programmer and a 3D modeler using 3Ds Max, if that also helps as well.

What Solid State Drive would you recommend for me under these specified conditions?

Dude, P182 case! Best case I have ever owned! Still have it too!

 

And as far as SSD's go, I can't say enough about Samsung Evo's. The 250 gig version is a great bargain.

I see, what are you thoughts on PRO? is it better than EVO? just as good? or EVO is better?

 

Edit: nvm, it seems the PRO is more than what my budget can afford.  So I'm leaning more towards EVO.
