So I think the Crucial BX100 would be a much better option than the OCZ Trion or the Sandisk Ultra II. Unfortunately there don't seem to be any good Black Friday deals on the decent drives. Maybe we'll see something on Cyber Monday.

Cold even at this price when you can get the SanDisk listed above for the same price!

But the Sandisk write speed is 350mb which is slower than this.

Personally never tried the Trion range, but good spec.

4K random reads and writes considerably slower than the Sandisk Ultra II http://www.anandtech.com/show/9408/ocz-trion-100-240gb-480gb-960gb-review/6
128K sequential writes considerably slower than the Sandisk Ultra II (although sequential reads are fine) http://www.anandtech.com/show/9408/ocz-trion-100-240gb-480gb-960gb-review/7
Mixed 4K and 128K Random read/write the lowest of the tested drivers (although the Sandisk Ultra II wasn't much better) http://www.anandtech.com/show/9408/ocz-trion-100-240gb-480gb-960gb-review/7
