Recommend me a SSD for boot

Looking for a SSD basically for boot and a few game files. I want something of decent quality and decent price. No real experience with SSD so not sure what's really decent out there

My only experience is with my 120gb Kingston HyperX SSD. It's fast as shit, build quality is excellent, and works great. I've had it for about a month now. My computer boots up in about 30 seconds (~20 seconds for bios, ~10 seconds for windows) and everything is completely loaded and ready to use. There aren't a whole lot of reviews on it because it is still pretty new. But all my RAM has been Kingston HyperX and I was very impressed so I decided to give it a try.

30 seconds is too long. I want sub 10 second boot times.

been running two ADATA S599 in a raid 0 for about 2 years now. transfers between the array and my storage drive are retarded fast. but I'm not horribly impressed with boot and load times. it's faster but not quite what I expected.
