This will make a great sticky when it's complete, and will hopefully lower the frequency of "which ssd should i get?" threads.

I think you need to break it up for needs also.

I got a 60 Gb Solid 3 a few months ago for $50 AR (despite all the FW issues going on at the time). I truthfully have no idea what it's performance benchmarks are, and don't really care. I just know my boot times have dropped from about a minute and a half to two minutes to around 22 seconds and my programs open very quickly.
I don't need the fastest SSD (my board only supports SATA 2, so a Solid 3 may not even be at it's full potential) but am happy with what I have.
I now want a SSD for my netbook, but even a 1st gen drive would be a huge improvement over my current 5400 RPM drive.
