I require some input.

I currently have a 2 year old Intel based build that includes a nice 80 GB SSD along with a couple of 500GB drives on a RAID1 configuration for my data. I have no problems with the workstation, other than the fact that I now require more space on the main C drive for program installs and catalog maintenance for Adobe Lightroom.

I would like to go up to probably around a 120-160GB SSD. I am more concerned with reliability than outright performance; which one does CP recommend? I plan on having this computer in mainline service for at least another year.

Also, how much work is involved in switching the main C drive and transferring all of my data over so that Windows doesn't notice the difference and goes on its merry way?
