I've been using 2 generations of sandforce (1200 and 2000) for almost a year now and not a single problem so far. It's not exact or confirmed but most issues seemed to be on sandy bridge chipsets.
 
That's because 90% of SSD users are on the sandybridge platform. Hardly anyone with a low end system buys an SSD.

Are you planning to buy in India or abroad?

If you have the budget, I strongly suggest you pickup the crucial m4 varkey is selling in the market section.

Its a spectacular drive for the asking money. I have one - zero stability issues, blazing speeds and crucial regularly issues firmware updates to fix things that might be broken.
 
The m4 is a good option. Writes are slow(er) in theory but doesn't really matter in practice - a system/boot ssd isn't about sustained transfer rates, more about quick access.

Btw, an ssd is the best way to make a low end system feel like a high end one, especially lappies...

Corsair Force3 60GB SSD not good? and where to buy M4 in india?
 
The force series uses asynchronous nand, the force GT series uses synchronous, which is faster. so only go for a gt if possible. not sure about where to get the m4 in india. i usually ask friends to bring stuff from the us.

Avoid the Corsair Nova. Lots of complaints. Random read/write speeds are very slow too.

Corsair Force 3/Force GT are Sandforce drives. If you're looking for reliability, a Sandforce is not recommended.

The Crucial M4 is currently the most reliable drive with decent performance.

Its not officially available in India, only imported. The 64GB M4 is available on ebay. The 128GB drive mentioned above looks like a better deal for the price.

Jeez, is everyone using sandy bridge? I honestly don't get all the bad rep SFs are getting here. I was especially worried since both my drives were bought off amazon and brought to india by a friend, but they've been working flawlessly. And even the top review/testing sites say that the issues are pretty sporadic and may not affect all people, just that the probability is higher on SB.

Instead of funky colours, I recommend that you just place a link OR hyper-link appropriate text. Maximum to draw attention, use bold and underline formatting options.

And just like #[member='Jarod'] said we are not blind.

Please edit your posts as well, don't have a jumbled mass of words give appropriate punctuations where required.

Now I am not an expert on SSD's but I do agree, the Nova series is too old [SATA II interface] OP should go for the Corsair Force series minimum. I will not recommend Crucial products due to the pain associated with RMA and lack of support in India.

Hope I have not offended you, Cheers!!

Thanks Anyway Bro.
 
Just to add, if possible, get a 128gb drive. On 60gb, you will run out of space pretty soon, specially if you intend to use hibernation.
 
Okay got the M4
