Best performance for 128/120Gb SSD?

[alfatekpt]

Hi,

In my country (Portugal, europe) I can get these SSD's with very similar prices:
- OCZ Vertex 450 Series - 128 GB - 90€
- CRUCIAL M500 - 120 GB - 90€
- SAMSUNG 840 EVO 120GB - 95€
- SANDISK SDSSDP-128G-G25 - 128 GB - 82€
- KINGSTON SSDNow V300 (SV300S37A/120G) - 120 GB - 80€

The SSD will be to upgrade a 3-year old laptop.
What's the SSD with the best performance as prices are very similar between them?

Please keep in mind 128Gb performance is different from other capacities as I saw in AT review of 128gb EVO...


So, what's your recommendation?

sandisk extreme2 tho i bet will last longer and have better durability without losing anything noticable on performance for every day usage.

It would take longer than a decade to wear either of these drives out, which is far longer than 99% of the people in the world would ever use them. Writing 30GB per day to the EVO drive would take approximately 24 years to kill it based on recent torture tests to kill them.

Ok, seems like samsung 840 evo is the way to go.
My doubt was because of this: http://anandtech.com/show/7173/sams...w-120gb-250gb-500gb-750gb-1tb-models-tested/8

The performance of the 120gb version is really way down from higher capacities but that seems to be general for all 120gb drives.
