Intel's seem to be the best performing out there right now but as of this moment they do not support TRIM but will be coming out with revised firmware to do so very soon.

Make sure you pick a drive that came out in recent months and has an upgradeable controller firmware option. If you settle on a few, post up and we can chime in on what we think. We have quite few SSD reviews up now so check them out on the main site.

The Intel drives are great and are still considered to be the top dog, so keep the Gen 2 34nm Intel X25-M drives on your short list. The Kingston 40GB Boot Drive is based off the Intel Gen 2 technology, so keep that one in mind as well.

Thanks guys ....
I just finished reading the article Apop.
Suppose the 160 GB Intel is the way we'll go.

There are so many numbers, ratings, choices, sizes .... ect.
Damn it gets confusing quickly!

I'm ordering 2 of these primarily because I trust you guys.
I've been here a while and I don't believe any of you would say they were the best if they weren't!

Well ... don't know if I'm $600+ impressed.

I can visibly see some things are indeed faster.
But my Windows score actually went down from where it was before.
I was running 3 64GB Raptors in RAID 0 before.

And QuickBooks is STILL slow to launch! ... what a freaking P.O.S. software that is.
