First time SSD buying help

[Christianm]

Hello everyone.

As the title say, I'm going to buy my first ever SSD and I need your suggestions on which brand is good and reliable. 

I'm looking for only 120 - 128 GB drive for normal usage, sometimes gaming but not much. I currently have 500GB seagate hard disk.

There're not many brands/options available in my country. here I have are:

 

http://www.silicon-power.com/product/product_detail.php?main=17⊂=48&pro=179&currlang=utf8

http://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/v/#sv300s3

http://in.transcend-info.com/products/No-631

 

But I can buy from Aliexpress from trusted seller as I have bought few things from there. Samsung EVO 840 also available at Aliexpress but I have heard that EVO 840 still have some speed degradation issues (even after upgrading firmware)

 

kindly help me to buy my first SSD, any decent brand and price.

 

thank you

Hi.

From private experience: intell and corsair ssd's are the best for me. Also, try to get them from local stores, it will save u some health if the ssd fails.

Had no problems running 2 corsair gt ssd's in raid0 for ~6 years, perfect condition in crystal disk info.
