Can you rate for me the top 10 of SSD my usage is heavy browsing,multiple programs open,computer is open for days and lots of videos.
The SSD must be in the size of 120/128GB.
Forget the price and if you can write your top recommendation.
The SSD would be the only storage no hybrid drives.
Thank you.

* No... use Google
* If price isn't an issue buy a higher capacity Plextor M5P, Crucial M4 or Samsung 840 Pro

With 128GB you start off with like 111GB free, install OS and apps and 128GB wont be enough. Grab a 256GB so you can put OS and all your files on it and all apps and couple of games... Good to see you Blain....

Any SSD will perform fine for that usage. If that's your only drive and you really do have lots of videos, Tweakboy is right--120/128 gb is not enough. SSDs are like PSUs, you do NOT want to fill them all the way up because performance will crawl. Aim to use 50-60% capacity.

Agreed. If the price is to be forgotten, there's no reason to stick with 120-128GB. Personally I'd look for the best value 240-256GB drive available. Between various iterations of SSDs I've had, very little noticeable performance difference among them. Not like going from HDD to SSD.

The best SSD's in my opinion are the samsung drives.

Samsung 840 Pro or Plextor M5P.

With your usage you will not be stressing the SSD very much. "Anythng" will do fine. Now had you said you were editing HD video with 6 to 8 streams open or some other kind of media creation tasks it would be different but for browsing the web and watching pre-recorded content you hardly need the SSD. SSDs do make any type of digital media editing run much faster.

In your case the times you will notice the SSD's speed is in reduced boot times and faster program loading. It should also imprve battery life if this is for a notebook computer. But it will NOT make web pages load faster and of course you do not even want to watch your videos at 5X speed.

I'd go for the biggest size you can afford, no need to pay for speed you will rarely use (only when you boot or click a new app)

Why would the only storage be the SSD?
Use your current drive for more storage and the SSD as the "boot" drive.

Probably a laptop.
