    Almost enough space, however i think 60G is the minimum need for an OS and apps for me.

    "Features fast read/write speeds"... really? Well then, I'm sure that's fine. We don't need actual metrics as long as the nice man says it's fast.

    Most cheapo SSD are a waste of money because they are no faster than HDD at lower capacity. Stick with HDD if you're a bargain whore.

    From newegg: Read 185Mb/s, write 100Mb/sec. Also has cache, which means it won't suffer from the stutter problems of early cheap ssd.
    Not as fast as the OCZ vertex, but this will smoke a regular hard drive, and even outperform a raid array due to lower latency.
    Put your less-used apps and music/video files on a regular hard drive. (Of course you can't do this very well if you have a laptop.)

    I hope you realize that it's not the SATA interface that makes your 10Krpm drive fast

    I got the $120 Gb drive for $234 a few weeks ago (Better performance:$)

    The 60 and 30 Gb variants have lower R/W speeds than the 120Gb models.
