Default SSD Roundup
Time for me to get an SSD as it's the only thing my extreme watercooler is missing. I'm an Intel Channel Partner so naturally I lean towards the Intel X25-M in say 120G as it's only for my Boot drive in Windiws 7 ...

Outside of nasty reviews on Newegg (love Newegg reviews) on a host of SSD's and I'm thinking of the OCZ Agility 2 since it's in 3.5" which will easy swap into my Themaltake Level 10 GT case I found this little SSD Rounup site ...

If I were smarter, I could tell if this was Spam or not.

No it's not, I heard that some of the members here like Datawiz are resident experts so I thought I'd inquire before forking out the serious dollars.

My twin Intel's have been flawless. 160GB each, raid 0. I've seen OCZ failures.
