SSD opinions

I have that Samsung SSD in my rig, well recommended. Outperforms the Kingston and in comparison to the Intel drive, the only real difference is the price.

Honestly, don't even waste your time nor money on the Kingston. For SSD's, it's better to pay upfront for speed, reliability, and quality.

In which case, I'd suggest that you go with the Samsung EVO of those choices. According to Passmark, the Intel and Samsung have equal performance scores, so go with the cheaper one. The EVO series is a good mainstream-grade series and is much more common in addition to being the better deal. If you really were willing to pay up for the Intel, I'd suggest upgrading to the Samsung Pro SSD series.

Also, if you're part of Newegg's Promo newsletter (a really good idea, btw), know that the Samsung EVO series goes on sale with coupons pretty often. I'd suggest signing up if you haven't already and waiting for a good promo deal. You could net that SSD for $30 less than it already is.

Yeah, my case has a frontal drive dock which I can just put it in there, but I'd recommend and am going to mount it in the drive bay soon.

I've got a 128GB Samsung EVO, no problems.

Personally, just because of the brand and reputation with SSDs, I'd go with the Samsung 840.
It's a SSD that many datacenters use for their clients, and it's probably one of the best options out there.

They're also pretty cheap compared to other SSDs on the market, I think that's why they're so popular
