Which drive to get?

[Zanth]

I'm looking for an SSD around 80 GB for around 200$
I'm wondering what the best drive I could get would be at that price point.
I was looking at the intels, as they seemed pretty sure but new stuff seems to be coming out so often I'm not sure if the information I read was up to date

Any help would be great!
Thanks!

If you don't absolutely need it, wait until the Intel G3 and the SandForce 2xxx based drives hit the market.

If you want it now, I'd say spend $40 more (240 total) and get the 120GB Vertex 2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227551&cm_re=vertex_2-_-20-227-551-_-Product

You can get the 90GB for $180 after MIR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227611&cm_re=vertex_2-_-20-227-611-_-Product

I'm in agreement with shadow703793, the "Forum Kitty". It is a better option to wait for the new Intel & SandyForce's to be released.
