I know SSD's are fast, but I've heard they might not be reliable.
If I'm gonna buy a new drive I want, above all else, reliability. I don't have the money to keep throwing at expensive fast drives that fail after two years.
What brands are the most reliable? Are there any SSD manufactures that produce a drive comparable to the reliability of a well recommended hard drive company?
$250 is my hard upper limit, but I'd like to keep it around or below $200 for 500+ GB

Intel for SSD reliability, but your budget won't get you a drive in that size.

SSD's supposedly last 50 years...
either way too expensive, wait till they get into the 3 tb range for $100 lol
in the mean time nab a 2tb hd.
For some reason it seems the prices on hard drives have actually gone up? O_o about a year ago i got 2, 2tb HDDs on tiger direct 80 each... now its listed at $169... wtf http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7192120&CatId=4357

If you can't afford $200 every 2-3 years for an SSD, then lol.
edit - not to mention in 2-3 years they won't be $200.

I bought a Corsair 120 for $174(after$40 rebate which I sent in) at Fry's last week. Kind of needed it right then and there, otherwise I'd have ordered online. But I'd say it was a good investment and worth doing for your Windows drive.

These are making a comeback.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
