The new Intel ones are supposed to be really good and cheap.

intel ssd's are the best but they cost more for less gb.

But the other ssd's are almost as good and have larger sizes

You just need to research if there is a difference between v and v+ series. I always check newegg.com and read the actual user reviews of people who bought the drives and any problems they encountered. Some SSD's aren't as plug and play as others.

Also check youtube they have reviews on the kingston ssd.
