Hahaha I swear that was the one I was looking at, but decided to get other opinions before from everyone here.

Yeah, but I've heard good things about adata also, and that is a newer drive, so wondering if the SU800 would be a better option. 

 

i am not sure i am just going for whatever is cheaper and hope for the best. ssds don't fail usally.

Yeah, like you said, it's a trustworthy company, is been around for a while so you know they're good, and a couple MBPS write won't make is brake an HTPC.

I hate saying this bit in the beauty department it leaves a lot to be desired, not something you want to show off in your rig. :/

From the specs on their amazon pages it looks like the PNY one is the fastest for overall read/write speeds

It doesnt live up to those advertised speeds. 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

Not any of those. This one is better than all those for the same price
