I also grabbed a 128Gb Kingston for my laptop. You just aquire them over time And the older/smaller capacity drives don't have much retail with the current SSD pricing dropping so fast.

This pretty much. My first SSDs were 2x Kingston SSDNow V 40GB (rebadged Intel X25-V, circa 2009) which were both used as OS drives, one as boot drive for my primary workstation and the other for my laptop. Bought a bunch of SF-1200 and Intel X25-M G2 SSDs (depending on which one I find on sale) in 2010 for some new HTPC builds and as replacement to the Kingstons. Buying new SSDs again this year now that 200+GB models aren't prohibitively expensive anymore.

Been putting my older SSDs inside enclosures. They work very nicely as external USB drives. Much faster than a USB flash drive or HDD for the type of data I deal with (lots and lo and lots of small 1~20KB files).

1 64gb KIngston SSD Now.
2 60gb OCZ Solid 3's
3 128gb Crucial M4's.

The Kingston was my first foray into SSD territory. I found that (while using Vista) the drive was only slightly faster than my HDD RAID0 setup. Plus it seemed that Vista was bound and determined to gobble up every free byte on that drive.

Fast forward to Win7. The OCZ drives were certainly fast but unstable as hell in RAID0. This is where I learned to avoid the Sandforce controller.

Then came the Crucial M4's, Fast, stable and reliable. So much so that the last time the 128 M4's went on sale for a good price I picked anothe one up for the kids' computer.

I have gone through 14 OCZ 30 gig turbos, can you say rma, lol.
Had 4 c300 crucials, all still going very strong, just a truly awesome drive.
I have 4 M4's for play, love them also.
Used two Intel 520's for a couple of months. sold them. Solid drive though, not an issue here with them.
On two Plextor M3P's right now for OS, no point in changing them out for anything else on the market.
