    I would like to get some advice of SSDs. Firstly I would like to know how close to 100% you can but data into it.
    128 GB should be enough since it can hold few games + OS. I use external HDD where I keep movies, pictures etc.
    What differences between brands? Price would be good if its around 100€. If you could recommed multiple choises if there is.
    If you could point up those main points which make SSD better than HDD
    Is there SSD which just have plusses not minuses?

    I found this SSD what do you about it?

    I always recommend the Samsung 840/Pro series and I personally use it. If you are not writing too much data onto the disc, I would recommend the 840. The 840 Pro is considered to be one of the best SSDs on the market. You can find plenty of reviews online.
