Newegg has the OCZ Agility 2 60GB OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G 2.5" SATA II Solid State Drive (SSD) for $55 - $20 rebate [Exp 9/25] = $35 with free shipping. Features a read speed of 285 MB/sec and a write speed of 275 MB/sec. Supports TRIM.
Lots of failed units, from the reviews. OK to experiment with, if you don't mind dropping $35 (after rebate) for the privilege. Just don't depend on it as a permanent OS drive or as a critical data storage drive.
^ A number of reviews noted problems at around the 18 mo. mark. Hopefully yours will outdo that. I actually like OCZ as a company. In Feb 2009 I bought one of their 1st gen Core II ssd. It actually worked great with XP and later Win 7. Never gave me a problem even up to today (I now use it as a "control" or backup unit when other ssd's act up (ahem... Intel)). The OCZ forums are a great resource. It's just too bad that they couldn't make more reliable units.

OCZ thanks all you paid beta testers!
Mine has been working for about a month with no problems. Sped up my netbook significantly.
