Intel is a pretty reliable brand for SSD's. If you want to shoot more toward performance while still remaining on good reliability, I'd go for OCZ.

I haven't done this myself, still saving up for a good sized ssd.

 

thanks alot Kalookakoo

now all i would have to do is reformat and make the SSD the primary drive, where the OS file go? to take full advantage of the increased Read/Write speeds?

therefore increasing my startup time etc?

 

Yes, putting the OS on the SSD will speed your boot time.

 

In terms of reliability Id say Crucial edges OCZ. But agree with Kalookakoo that Intel is best for reliability. I have an Intel that is over 3 years old now and running actually better than when I first bought it (firmware updates).
