AAAHHH!!?
Looking to replace a dying laptop hard disk with a basic SSD. Laptop sees only occasional use and the most intensive thing I anticipate doing on it is playing World of Warcraft occasionally. Need enough room for that and the OS, won't be storing a significant amount of other media on it. Don't care too much about performance provided it's better than a mechanical HDD. I'm in Australia. What would be the cheapest suggested model (preferably that I can pick up from MSY: http://cdn.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf) for me to get that's not complete garbage? Prefer 240G over 120G (anything over that is overkill), but that will depend on cost.

I was looking at the BX200. Any issues with this?

Literally everything in the SSD world is better than the BX200. It's pretty much the only SSD out there that's functionally worse in a lot of ways than an HDD or SSHD.

Thanks. After seeing some less-than-stellar reviews for the BX200, I ended up going with the Sandisk Plus instead.
