Newegg has the OCZ Vertex 2 Series OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive for $130 - $30 rebate [Exp 3/11] = $100 with free shipping. Includes an OCZ OCZUSBDSL8G Diesel 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive free with purchase. Features RAID support, read speeds up to 285 MB/s, write speeds up to 275MB/s and comes with a 3 year warranty.
I still haven't pulled the trigger on SSD; no exact reason why not, read/write speeds have increased, the technology is tested, etc... just getting old I guess.
There is a good reason why not. I bought one of these almost a year and a half ago and it's been working great. If you look at the most recent reviews on this though, people complain that a change in their chips has made this unstable and it usually breaks down very quickly. Read the reviews on Newegg for the past 3 months.
i got one 60GB of this brand from an barebone kit. it start to have problems after 2 months. Now i have to pay the shipping to send it back to the company for replacement. Still not get it back yet. hope it will work well after this replacement.

Looks a bit risky to say the least
Yeah, with almost 50% of 500 reviews at 3 or less and many reporting complete failure, this is worthless until they put out a new firmware.
