Best budget SSD for me?

[David41]

Hi guys, I've finally decided to make the jump from HDD to SSD for my boot drive however I am on a max budget of £60 but the lower the better. I was going to go for the SK Hynix 128GB but I thought I'd check here before making the purchase. What do you think my best option is? Here are a few others I've been looking at:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive (SHFS37A/120G) £52.98
1 x Kingston 120GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb/s 3 2.5" (7mm height) Solid State Hard Drive - (SV300S37A/120G) £49.99
1 x SK Hynix 128GB SSD SH910A SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (HFS128G32MNB-2201A) £44.99
Total : £157.56 (includes shipping : £8.00).

OS and some other software, maybe try putting a couple of games on there too.

My hardware is so old that it takes far, far longer to get to the Windows boot screen than for Windows to actually boot.

My PC is a couple of years old or so

Go for the faster Kingston. You get a faster read and write speed for the cost of a beer.

I would get the SK Hynix
Definitely not the V300 as that was subject to some switch bait thing where the review samples had different NAND to the retail ones and are slower

I have a SK Hynix and it is fast and has worked very well.

I am using a SK Hynix in my homeserver at the moment for the OS and then mechanical for the storage. it works a treat and makes rebooting the server a lot quicker and easier. Also installing new components to the server.

Looks like I'll be ordering the SK Hynix. Thanks for your input everyone.

In a similar position myself come pay day as SSD died and can't claim on warranty. Looks like I'll be going for the SK Hynix too.
