SanDisk has quite a number of different lines of drives; the Ultra II and Extreme Pro both use modern Marvell controllers and their own (joint venture with Toshiba) flash. I haven't used them, but anecdotally they're quite good, and the Crucial drives using the same controllers (but different firmware, and Micron flash) are my usual preference these days.
(Pure vanity, although this may help my bona fides.)

(They have a cheaper line, "SSD Plus" but I don't think that goes up to 960gb/1TB -- I can't find any indication of whose controller that one uses nor any detailed reviews, and would recommend against it just as a bit of an unknown.)
It will probably take me a few more days to install it. I have Acronis. Do you think running Disk Clone is okay?
(Versions predating Windows 7 coming out in 2009, definitely best avoided with SSDs; anything from 2011 or newer should work great, not sure about 2009 and 2010 versions.)
