- Corsair Force GT 120gb
- OCZ Vertex 3 120gb

Any other brand suggestions from above? Thanks.

this is my budget:

Intel and Samsung in particular. Crucial is generally good, but has been having some issues in the last few months.

What about the Corsair Force GT? Intel and Samsung are almost $250

What are their difference between intel 520 and Intel 160, 180, 200 and 215 and Samsung 170 and 190?

Intel is my suggested SSD brand. Specs won't blow you away, but they are great at random I/O and they are very reliable.

Are intel ssd's are much faster than other ssd brand?

None that I'd be concerned with.

I'd probably choose Intel only because their SSD models have been on the market longer than Samsung.

You will see some differences in the published benchmarks, but I wouldn't pay much attention to that.

I'd be concerned with reliability and support. Intel is at or near the top of the heap for those 2 things.
