I don't have much experience with Sandisk other than basic memory cards. But currently the OCZ Agility 120gb sata 3 ssd is reduced from £159 to £79.99. I've just built a pc with one of these and I'm very impressed so far. Obviously you won't get the speeds advertised as the Kronos only has the standard Sata port, but Sata 3 is backwards compatible. Has anyone tried a Sata 2/3 drive in the Kronos?

PC Pro, July 2012, rated the Sandisk 4 out of 6 overall & 5 out of 6 for value for money based on £115 for the 120Gb drive.

Performance was towards the poorer end of the reviewed drives.

That makes that price look very attractive.

Thanks for the link. It's a good price for a 120 drive.

Performance is more than adequate compared with the factory drive. Plus, to make the most of the speed of a newer drive, you'd have to have a compatible board anyway. And the Intel D510 is not going to cater for SATAIII speeds. Whatever new drive you put in the Kronos, speed with slow down to what the motherboard allows.

It looks that SSD drives become cheaper and cheaper (which of course is normal, noticing that the are sold more than before now laptops/notebooks get more popular).

I would prefer OCZ Vertex 2. I received information in the computer service center, it was the best of SATA2.
