Solid state drives are amazing substitutes for the hard disk drives as they can be used in netbooks, notebooks and desktops. Some SSDs can even be connected to the USB ports, if in case you are not interested in using it inside the casing. All hard disks have a spinning platter which is used for reading and writing the data. Thus, there are many moving parts inside and data can easily get corrupted if the platter suffers a knock or is moved. Popular SSD sizes include 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. Some memory manufactures also offer 256GB and 512GB models, but they are a bit on the expensive side for most people. Here is the list of the best SSDs for your computers.

1) Plextor M2s: This NAND-based solid state drives is the cheapest of all and is often touted as an SSD for starters. You will need one chip per channel to fully utilize it. However, keep in mind that writing and reading to the drive’s cell can consume multiple cycles. So, you will have to take special care of the SSD by running various memory tests monthly to keep it running smoothly.

2) Intel 510: The 510 is a very high performance solid state drive that features the indilinx memory controller to make sure that the drive never slows down. It is even faster than its predecessor, Intel X25.

3) OCZ Vertex 3: OCZ is one of the biggest suppliers of SSD and is being used by various computers manufactures in their notebooks. It has read and write speeds of 550 MB/second and 520 MB/second respectively. The only thing not to like about is that it does not supports 6Gbps SATA. Other than that, we love every part of it.

4) F115: Priced at 200 dollars, the Corsair F115 comes with the latest sand-force controller that promises amazing response time and fast performance. It has read speed of upto 285 MB/second and write speed of 275 MB/second. The SSD has full support for the TRIM technology and runs like a charm on both Mac OS X as-well-as windows 7 operating system.

5) Crucial M4: The 128GB version of M4 retails at 225 dollars and is highly recommend for someone that is looking for a quick boost in performance for their Mac or PC. It is MLC based and has read speed of up to 500MB/s. Thanks to its native command queuing, it delivers stellar performance. In our tests, it reduced the boot time to half.
