    2. Mushkin Enhanced MKNSSDCR120GB-7 2.5" 120GB SATA III for 65$ (Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced MKNSSDCR120GB-7 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD))
    3. Team Group DARK L3 T253L3120GMC101 2.5" 120GB SATA III for 63$ (Newegg.com - Team Group DARK L3 T253L3120GMC101 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD))
    4. PNY XLR8 SSD9SC120GMDF-RB 2.5" 120GB SATA III for 60$ (PNY XLR8 SSD9SC120GMDF-RB 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - Newegg.com)

    If you want something cheap look into crucial m500 120gb - should be reliable and fast enough.
