Which SSD, Intel, Corsair, OCZ, Kingston ?

[Dicehunter]

Doing a build for a friend and I've got everything sorted apart from the OS drive, now the choices have come down to that of these few in my local rig shop.

Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB *I have recommended this to him as it is the sex*
-
Intel 520 Series 240GB *Also leaning towards this*
-
OCZ Vertex 4 256GB
-
Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB
-
Sandisk Extreme 240GB
-
Samsung 840 PRO 256GB
-
PNY Prevail Elite Enterprise Class 240GB
-

So those are the ones I have to choose from for my mates build, Thoughts ?

Intel 520
Kingston HyperX
ADATA
Sandisk - dunna know
PNY - dunna know
OCZ - pass, in current condition of the lot, RMA or support could be sketchy

Much appreciated for the info bud, Guess I'll have alook at the Intel 520 and Neutron GTX, Leaning more towards the GTX though because the Intel doesnt have toggle nand, I'll get both and do some of my own benches, then decide and get a refund of the one i wont be using.

I use the Sandisk and can recommend it great bang for buck ATM the other is Plextor.

Out of the list, i'd advise either the Intel or the Samsung. Leaning towards the Intel because it's proven its speed an reliability already - the Samsung is brand new to the market, and although its speed is phenomenal it's too soon to judge if it's going to break easily or not. I will say that the Samsung 830 was one of the most reliable SSDs around, and i'm sure Samsung wouldn't roll out a product until they were satisfied with it.

I would use the Samsung or Intel, I swapped my OCZ to a Samsung 830 and this one is really faster.
