I need a 240GB SSD (well I would prefer to a 480GB but those are just out of the question). A lot of what I do is parsing thru large data files so the faster the drive the better. I haven't been able to find one place that lists what each drive uses, so I find a drive and have to look them up. This is the list I have so far:

Toggle Nand (the fastest):
Mushkin Chronos Deluxe
OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS
OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G
Patriot Wildfire

Synchronous Nand (Middle):
Adata S511
Corsair Force 3 GT
Intel 520
Kingston HyperX
OCZ Vertex 3
Patriot Pyro SE

Asynchronous Nand (Slowest):
Adata S510
Corsair Force 3
OCZ Agility 3
OWC Mercury Electra 6G
Patriot Pyro

Any other Brands I should be looking at?

If anyone else can point me to a website that lists them all or has additional to share I will add it to the list.

I tend to like the SSD reviews over at Tom's Hardware, though I haven't checked to see if they reviewed all the ones you're interested in.
