Get one from a manufacturer not a re-band (I would go with either Samsung or Intel). I personally use a Samsung 840 SSD, it is great, the 840 pro and EVO are good too. If possible go for a 240/250 GB SSD over a 120, as a 120 will fill up fast with your OS/programs/etc. Hope this helps.

The Samsung Evo or Crucial M500. The M500 will be a bit slower (although the only times you will notice it is when copying stuff from one ssd to another) but it has powersafe caps and RAID5 bitcorrection.

I would recommend a SanDisk ultra plus, they make their own NAND.
