Samsung 840 evo or Crucial m500

Amazon.in: Buy Crucial M500 120GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal Solid State Drive CT120M500SSD1 Online at Low Prices in India | Reviews & Ratings

Buy Online SAMSUNG 120GB SSD 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW in India

I doubt that shops here will have lesser price,
Offtopic: which shop you prefer for computer components here?

Thanks. I was also thinking to go with Samsung EVO
Yea, I won't even bother checking SSD prices here.

My one and only fav shop here is InfoTech Solutions @ Millenium Plaza.

Yeah, may be later this year. Tomorrow Samsung 850 gonna launch so when the prices for 840 pro will drop I'll buy one and put the EVO on laptop.

It doesnt come with bracket. Order something like this 2 5" HDD SSD TO 3 5" Mounting Bracket Converter BAY Adapter Best Quility | eBay or get it locally if cheap

Hey guys, Sorry to bump in like this...Since the topic/discussion is relating to SSDs, I refrained from creating a new topic/post..

But... can anyone provide me with a list of SSDs (for PC) under Rs. 7000/-

Primary Purpose: TO keep the Win 7 64bit OS installed on it.
Capacity: The more the better (under Rs.7000).. but if you still ask me then any SSD between 120/128GB till 250/256GB
