I know silicon power is more of an enterprise grade ssd company, but I haven't seen many of their products.

In which case go for it!

Hi, I am making HTPC build for friend (casual PC user) and I found this SSD. This is first time that I see this brand but it is 240GB for only 95 € which is making it suspucious.

SILICON POWER 240GB 2.5" SATA III SSD Technology V55

I found a review... Looks solid

Competitor to Samsung 830, or Crucial M4

If they make enterprise stuff, then they're built to last.

Silicon power is pretty well known for flash drives and sd cards in taiwan. Pretty solid company.

Not sure if RMA is as easy as kingston & other major companies though.
