For all of my Xeon 5600 systems and E5 v1/ v2 where there's lots of 3gbps SATA ports these work great: Intel 100GB SSD SSDSA2BZ100G3 710Series 2.5" SATA-II
Intel controller, high endurance, reliable, and cheap.
Too small for Windows Server 2012 R2 but ESXi or Ubuntu they work great. I've picked up a few at $50 already and the seller has lots left.
