Best SSD available?

[mBox]

I know I can Google this but I would rather have the communities opinion.
Fastest slash best SSD 2.5" drive available?
Preferably above the 480GB but Ill listen to any size.
Its for this unit http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempossd.html
I will be using the two banger.

I'm not an expert on SSD's or HDD's but the little research I've done to find a replacement for my 17" MBP came up with this:

Corsair Performance Pro SSD

I think they only come in 128GB and 256GB though.

Thanks for the tip TMothy 🙂

The Samsung 830 is a solid choice. It comes in a 512GB capacity.

In case you're wondering, the SSD in the pictures is the OWC Mercury Pro 6G 😉

I have the samsung 830, every review I've ready has always spoken highly of them. It's been great so far but I haven't even had it a year.

Here is this that may give you a starting point as well as far as quality drives. I have heard people like the Plextor SSD's because you can get them with a 5-yr warranty vs 3yr with a lot of others.

Also, I've heard there is a new generation of SSD's that are coming out that are supposed to be a little faster. The bad part about those is that the reliability might not be proven.

Thanks folks.
It looks like for my situation the Sandisk Extreme 480 is the winner.
Reason is that Im researching for SSD drives used with both Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro and the Black Magic Cinema Camera.
Now another question would be, which SSD has a longer read/write life?
Its not for the Black Magic, its for the Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro card.
