    I'm looking for a new SSD to use as an OS drive in my Aspire 8935G laptop. I've narrowed my search down to these 3:

    Gskill Phoenix Pro 80 GB
    Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 90 GB
    Corsair Force Series 90 GB

    They are all specd at up to Read/Write 285/275 MB/s. Do you have any pros or cons on them? Do they really approach the specd speeds? Anyone have reliability issues with them?

    Thanks.

    I chose Mushkin because of their great customer service. I know if something goes wrong with my Callisto, they have me covered.
