Windows 10 is coming and my current operating system is still running on a HDD (to be specific: WD10EZEX 1 TB). While I found that the 128 GB system partition I reserved is more than plentiful for Windows and every application I use (Still 43 GB is free), I do believe it is time to leave 2005 and join club of super fast boot times.
As of now 1 TB SSD prices are still not competitive enough (or maybe I am just cheap / poor) to be a reasonable alternative to high capacity HDDs This means that for a few more years I will be storing my games and media on this ancient technology.
My problem is quite simple however: I need a boot drive preferably this month, or at least before I upgrade to Windows 10; yet I do not want to throw away given drive in 1-2 years when I'll be picking up a high capacity SSD. For that I need something that is lightning fast and will probably have comparable performance to future drives.
Yes, I am aware that a new breakthrough could render this notion completely pointless, but at least I should try to get the most out of my buck.
So, which SSD should I go with? Is there a single 120-128 GB drive that is measurably better in performance?
Also, can I trust this site?

According to it, I should just pick up a "OCZ Vector 150 120GB" (highest effective speed in this tier) and be done with it.
TL;DR: I want the Bestest, Fastest, Cheapest boot drive that is "future-proof" by tomorrow!
