Thus, should I stick to my 120GB SSD planned purchase??? TIA

i think 64GB is slower than 128

but 128 and up should be pretty similar in speed

this has to do with the number of chips the controller can write to simultaneously. 64gb uses fewer chips so...

go ahead with your 120gb. this size is really quite sufficient. i've been using my samsung 120gb for more than 2 years now. and don't worry about SSD lifetime

as for crucial vs kingston, try to research on what chips and controller they use and base your decision from there.
