hmm how about the Kingston V300? It's MLC bassed and not much more than the Samsung 840, speed doesn't seem tobe anything to write home about but should still be a hell of a lot faster than a mechanical drive. Seems like a reasonable option.

You could certainly do worse than the Kingston middle-of-the-road Sandforce based, MLC NAND SSD. :P

The Samsung though, is still twice as fast in a best case scenario with 2 extra years of warranty. (Which IMHO is worth it.)

Then again the Kingston is significantly cheaper

once you add in the braket and the SATA cable it is significant, and that is a worst case example in the real world the picture looks much better
