Samsung right now is probably one of the most preferred options. They have different models though which vary in speed/life of drive/etc but I have one from about 2 years ago and its been great. Crucial and Intel are some other choices, rest of the companies are so-so.

Stay away from OCZ. I've had them brick on me twice. They RMA'd it both times, but man it was a pain in the ass. I still have one in my system and I feel like it is a ticking timebomb.

I hear good things about Crucial, I think that what I am going for on my next one.

I have always used the Crucial M500 SSDs. Never had an issue with my original 512GB and love the new 960 GB I am using now.

Most reviews do say the 840 pro is the way to go.
