I've got a Mushkin Callisto that's 2 1/2 and a Crucial M4 that's not even 6 months and they are both lovely! M4 for sure!

It's tough to pick one winner here, since I've used a bunch of SSD's and overall have had great experiences. I do think the Samsung 830 stands a little above the rest. I like Intel's quality as well but usually there is a premium price tag associated with Intel and Samsung has similar quality at competitive prices. I've never had issues with Corsair, Crucial, or Kingston but OCZ burned me once and I still havent forgiven them (although I heard the 4 series is shaping up to be much more reliable).

I picked up my OCZ Vertex 3 last year and love it, still working hard, think I would stick with them and get the Vertex 4 if I was going to purchase another. Then again I have heard M4's are the way to go...

Crucial M4, HAD the best price for an SSD in Australia apart from older OCZ ones. Samsung now leads and I'm only left to suggest 128GB Samsung 830's for their price/performance. I do love my Crucial M4 though, the read/writes and noticable boot time is amazing and they have good support from what I hear and keep on top of updating their SSD's firmware unlike other companies *Cough* OCZ *Cough*

Don't know about the Samsungs (Heard that they're a tad more reliable then an M4 and only a drop slower) seeing as I have first hand experience with the M4 it grabs my vote though.
Though I prefer the look of the Samsung 830 with it's metallic look?? Well, is it actually metal or what?

Corsair Force GT isn't listed.

OCZ Vertex 4 is what I currently owned due to the price.

Close call between the 830 and the Vertex 4 for myself, decided on the Vertex 4 only because of a good sale price redface.gif
