Gotta agree with @deXxterlab97 on this one, we need more of the infos.

 

However, it looks like you are looking for an OS only SSD on a minimal budget, correct me if i'm wrong...

 

If that's true, ADATA probably makes the best budget SSD's. Here's a good example one https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-Premier-SP550-120GB-ASP550SS3-120GM-C/dp/B013J7PP96/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487617649&sr=8-1&keywords=adata+120gb

Care to prove yourself?

 

We don't know enough about the OP's request to determine what's good for their needs yet, I just made an initial recommendation.

Here is a good boot drive:

 

Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

My boss ordered 20 of these for a project at work of "updating" older workstations and I recommended SSD for the most noticeable performance boost. Out of the 20, 2 of them were Dead on Arrival and since this project wasn't on the top of my priority list, by the time I found out 2 of them were bad, they wouldn't switch them out for fresh ones so their customer service isn't the greatest either. But for personal use I'm sure you'll plug that SSD in the day it arrives lol.

 

So far the rest of them have been working fine with deep freeze locking the computers down from any types of changes.

 

TL;DR:

Not bad for it's price, but I have personally seen a 10% dead on arrival status with these drives.
