The Kingston is Faster but the sandforce controller has issues with the Ocz SSD's so far i've not heard anyone mentioning of a bsod issue with the HyperX Series.. Which would you go for, i'm look for fast and reliable, and possible future Raid 0 option

Upgrade from HDD to SSD makes the difference between SSDs seem minute... Samsung SSDs are supposed to be good as far as reliability goes and I can't say I've ever been impressed with Kingston customer services.

The only problem i've heard of from the Kingstons is updating the firmware, a lot of them fail, may go for Samsung, 520mbps read is very good and 380mbps write is not 2 bad, i'd rather get an SSD i know i'm not going to have any issues with than get one n have lots of problems, had no experience with SSD's

im planning on a ssd too and saw a cruzial 120gb in a local shop for a good prize or going for a samsung for its reliability dunno hard choice. primary objective is to boost windows and apps plus the old one for storage to use the ssd as cache for speedup. fresh windows install goes on the ssd.

The Kingstons are suppose to be really good and the fastest on the market at its price range will be paying 178 pounds for the 120gb Hyper X upgrade kit, will be doing a fw update and a fresh install of Win 7 Pro x64
