Samsung 840 Evo would be my next choice because Samsung makes their own SSDs. :)

My Kingston HyperX is amazing.

Logan from TekSyndicate swears by them and I couldnt agree more.

They look sexy.

And on a weird note, just trust me on this one, they smell good.

No joke when I opened the box it was like...amazing

Like a new car smell but better.

Easily would buy again just to sniff the packaging

:ph34r:

Oh ya, and its a kickbutt SSD thats sexy

Samsung definitely. Thinking of getting a 120GB and splitting it into two. 

Then I will put my OS and some small programs that I use(no games) on one half and I will use the other as a cache. Not sure if this is even possible or how it will affect SSD life.

Until someone makes a ssd actually significantly faster and competitive with the current ssd prices, I'll just get the cheapest decent one. They're all only barely faster or slower than one another to the point where it doesn't really make much of a difference.
