Great and solid SSD. I concur.

Thanks for the suggestion, and it looks damn nice, but I'm a little apprehensive of spending £500+ on a storage device.
Okay, since the Samsung doesn't seem to be such a great idea after all, I've looked around a little more on Scan and found some other ones;
This one from intel - looks promising but the write speed seems a bit slow, though I'm not sure if that's slower than a HDD would be. Slightly on the expensive side too, but nothing completely unreasonable. (Besides, these are SSDs, and they're going to be fairly expensive anyway)
This X128 from Corsair. According to the specs it has a much faster write speed and is at about the same price point. As far as I know, Corsair's a reliable manufacturer, too. Not as high a capacity as the intel choice, though.
Either of these seem like better choices?

They're both much better; the Corsair uses an Indilinx controller (which is uncommon as most of them have Samsung controllers afaik), and combined with that it's a better value than the Intel drive (even with less capacity). Can't go wrong with either one, honestly, you'd be just as well off being blindfolded and randomly picking one of the 2.

Thanks for your feedback. Personally, I'm leaning towards the corsair SSD right now thanks to the much faster write speed while only taking a very small hit on the read speed at the same time.
Besides, 128Gb should be plenty of space to hold my OS, games and various programs as long as I put everything else on the 500Gb drive I already have.

Yeah, It's hard to miss that SSDs get obscenely expensive past the 128-160Gb mark. Actually some of them are really expensive even at that point depending on the manufacturer and the performance of the drives themselves.
