[Staffslug] SSD recommendation

Hi all, Could anyone advise on SSD's for a home PC. I am looking at taking the plunge now and have narrowed it down the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB and the Intel 530 180GB for my budget. Both drives come with a 5 year warranty, which is not a guarantee the drive will not fail, but does indicate that the manufacturer is prepared to stand behind their product longer than other 'consumer grade' drives. Reading the reviews is a bit like trying to divine the winning numbers in the lottery. StorageReview has tested the drives but for higher storage capacities. I do not know enough about the construction of SSD's to determine whether the performances of the Intel 240GB is identical to the lower capacity 180GB drive. Same question applies to the Samsung, but with an even greater difference in capacity: StorageReview tested a 512GB - I am considering the 128GB model. Can anyone comment on this please? Also any other thoughts welcome (for example - have the SandForce issues been resolved?) Many thanks, Felix
