My understanding is if you want the best, intel 520 will not be beaten. Crucial however is great at releasing firmware updates, while all manufactures do this, Crucial is well known for their updates both in frequency, and the ability to greatly increase the performance of your drive over time (remember SSDs run on firmware determining how the drive processes the information, reads/writes to/from chips etc, there are constant updates for most SSDs which improve the way this is done). OCZ has their latest drive, the Vertex 4. This drive is the best competitor for the intel 520, but comes at a more affordable price. You may want to consider that too.
Thank you very much, yeah it took me 5 months to get all the planning and parts done,so pretty proud
