Best 40-60gb SSD for the money?

post #1 of 13

Thread Starter 
As the title says.

i dont care at all about sequential crap, just the snappiness of the drive.

Looking for something under 100$

I already know about:

intel x25-v
vertex 2 40gb
vertex 60gb

are there any other great deals or not really? and is there really that much difference in snappiness between those three or not noticeably?

Also 60gb is preffered to 40gb so i can fit some games on there, but 40 is ok as well.

Thanks guys!

Enjoy.
Those 2 are slow, especially the PS-100

out of the OP's choices the Sandforce and the Intel ones would be my choices, and the Indilinx one is interesting, could even be worth it since it's 60GB...
