Tiger Direct has the Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Disk SSD (SSDSA2MJ080G2C1) for $60 - $20 rebate [Exp 10/23] + $2 shipping = $42 shipped. Features sequential read speeds of 250MB/s and write speeds of 70MB/s.
Rebates work fine as long as you are capable of reading and following the directions. You're not gonna notice too much real world performance difference between this and the current gen of SSD. This is a great drive to bring an old machine back to life with.
You take what you can get if you want to spend a minimal amount on a SSD. To someone with an aging computer that just had a HDD failure, this is a huge performance boost on the cheap.
I can't let #5 get them all and, of course, #4 gets one of everything so I'm getting one too, even if I don't need it. They offer a $2 "no wait" rebate option...
i can just see these being $20 AR for BF.
has the better 32nm NAND chips that is more reliable then the current 24nm NAND chips.
the next rebate is 10/24/12 - 10/31/12 http://static.highspeedbackbone.net/rebates/TD-7293%20%28US%29.pdf
Old tech and rebate definitely kill the deal.

In for one! This'll work great on an old SATA II motherboard.
