The corsair force 3 120gb.

I've never had a problem with mine and it seems like the best deal there.

Samsung 830 100% for beastness.

However, the 120GB Force 3, though it does not perform as well, is a better deal capacity wise.

between the Samsung and the force 3 would I see a real world difference or is it the sort of difference you can only see in a benchmark. 90 to 120GB is all I need as ill only have windows and a few programs that would benefit from the speed on the ssd like visual studio sql server adobe products. games and everything else can stay on my other HDD as the load times arnt that bad

? I remember seeing much better deals on quality drives elsewhere. At NCIX I bought OCZ agility 128gb sata 3 for I think 109, the price of most of their 60gb drives at sata3

The theory regarding longer lasting NAND on the Intel 520 is just speculation and based on the results of the Xtreme Systems endurance thread, probably isn't even true. The advantage of the Intel 520 over the Intel 330 include ability to be used as a 7mm drive (if you remove the spacer), additional SMART attributes for measuring workload and write amplification (useful for enterprise/corporate users), and a 5-year warranty (which for consumers, is basically akin to buying extended warranty).
