Excellent SSD recommendations?

Hold up.

The new OCZ SSDs are much better than what they used to be. Thanks to Toshiba buying them (who for the record, make really reliable SSDs) they have a much, much lower fail rate than they used to. Mainly because Toshiba got rid of everything that was sub par before.

They are better yeah. Toshiba makes their own NAND iirc so it gives them an edge.
Here's an article on before OCZ+Toshiba to OCZ+Toshiba now.. rather interesting and a good move on Toshib/OCZ to answer and concerns on reliability.

I must admit not being a Samsung Evo fan, sorry for not mentioning that earlier. Mainly because of the few troubles that were reported a while back, although they might not be completely true or what not, they kind of ruined it for me to be honest.

I'm pretty sure the issues were related to the 840 Pro, unless I'm mistaken?

Anyway, I've had my 850 EVO for around 2.5 months and it's been rock solid (touch wood)

Yeah the pro sounds about right. Anyway, I think I'm going with the Kingston, looks good, good price and good speeds too.

My thinking exactly! Always enjoyed their memory so why not! Anyone on here has the Savage?

Edit: Does anyone have an opinion on SanDisk Pro or Corsair SSDs as well?

I've had bad luck with Corsair SSD's, which is why I've moved onto other (more reliable) drives. Don't know much about SanDisk, I'm afraid.

Makes sense that you're staying away form them, then. I came back from the HyperX SSD after reading a couple of trustworthy reviews that had some doubts about its performance in heavy duty. Tripp has been helping me greatly tonight picking a Crucial MX200 500GB instead - 192 Euro only! And sure, there are some people to be found that don't like them (I have found some) but that's the same for every product. In my opinion Crucial is a good, solid brand.

I don't have anything against Crucial. I was running a 128 GB Crucial drive for 2 years before I upgraded.
 
I have ran an Samsung 840 Evo I think it is as my main OS and few program drive for years now and even before that I used an Corsair Force Series 3", which I now use for my games and both have been rock solid so far.

Got an Kingston HyperX for my moms PC, which I built off old PC parts, from my PC. Since I upgraded mine, I took the old parts and built her a better machine, for her purposes.

And that one has also been solid for months now as well :)
