I'd like some thoughts on what SSD you guys would recommend. I know the Kingston V300 is supposed to be cancer ( and thats why its so cheap) so what should I look at for a reasonably priced SSD?

Been playing on a laptop for 6 years, I play Dota 2 with 10fps. Some might say this is impossible, I say its just annoying

The V300 is absolutely terrible. For something reasonably priced, the Intel 530 is pretty good. The 730 is you're ok with spending more.

Well the V300 has catered to my needs/wants I'm sure it's not the best, but it seems to work fine.

 

I've got ~15 second boot times (from pressing the button to desktop) and space to store drivers and a fair number of games. I'm happy with my purchase.
