What SSD should I buy for my desktop?
I built my computer a few years ago and I orinially had a small Crucial 64gb drive. It went bad recently and I am looking to replace this with a new SSD. I am looking at both the Samsung 840 pro 256gb and the Sandisk Extreme II 250gb drives. I don't know which one I should consider buying. I have windows 8 and play games often, so I am looking for a fast and reliable drive. I don't need too much space.
Can you please let me know which one would be better, or if you have another option?

As above, the Samsung 840 pro - it's probably the best performing SSD for consumers right now.
I haven't heard too positive things about SanDisk SSDs, but Crucial's M500s perform well if you're looking at 256gb +
Samsung and Crucial are the only two I would consider; Kingston have slipped poorer components into their V300 drives over the past year or so, so don't believe reviews and don't bother buying them.

Sandisk is the fastest and they have a 5 year warranty.
