According to Mark Lord, at the moment it is this one.

I have decided that I am not going to switch over to an SSD for my system drive after all, at least not until the state of the art reaches the point where reliability is acceptable. If I can believe the reviews, somewhere around 10-20% of them arrive either DOA or fail catastrophically within a few weeks. The manufacturers appear to be very accommodating as far as replacing the failed drives in a timely fashion, but even if they didn't, the monetary expense is the least of the costs of a failed system drive. (I have a lot of software to reinstall and configure.)
