SSD considerations, under $200

[fenixsaint]

The Crucial C300 is a very fast, well priced drive. Its read speeds are second to none, including 4k tests. Write speeds are a bit average, but for $150 this drive is hard to beat.

Thanks for the replies!
I've considered the vertex 2, but it's over my budget and the difference in performance seems minor from what I have read.
I've considered the X25-M but again with price. Plus there's still a lack of write speeds.

i've never read that anywhere, the intel X25-M is supposed to be the best of the bunch in terms of overall performance. U have a link to the above?

Interestingly though, I also found this:

Nonetheless, the intel X25-V was the only one in my pricerange, and the speeds scaled with capacity.
