Best SSDs For The Money: February 2012
Earlier this month, Intel launched its second prosumer-oriented SSD. Dubbed the SSD 520 (check out Intel SSD 520 Review: Taking Back The High-End With SandForce for more), the successor to its SSD 510 leverages an SF-2281 controller, which means that Intel joins a large crowd of vendors building drives based on SandForce's technology. Great, right?
Intel, specifically, claims to use higher-quality NAND skimmed from the top bin of IMFT's production. If you were previously a little nervous about the cost-cutting measures competing vendors take to compete more aggressively on price, Intel's move could be reassuring. Conveying further confidence is Intel's five-year warranty, which easily bests the three-year coverage on most other SSDs. The above are clips from the article.

Re: Best SSDs For The Money: February 2012
I just saw this:
Newegg.com - Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F120GBGT-BK 2.5 $120 after MIR. Today only. That's $1 per GB for one of the fastest SSDs around!

Yeah that's about what I paid for my 120g. Like I said it's getting full and lonely. Need to get it some company like I did for my video card
