I don't reAd The whole thread. But i didnt would buy The cheapest SSD.
Im using The ocz or is it osz xD vertex2 with The Build in sandforce controller.
When you are searching for a cheap SSD. You should buy One with Build in Cache an a good Controller. Jmicron Controller are Not very good And Not fast.
For The vertex 2 with 64GB you Pay in Germany around 100€. I think The Price is ok. But when its going cheaper it would Be f*****g cool :)

My 50 Cent to this :) Gruß

The Crucial drive in only faster under a SATA 6Gb/s connection and reading at that.

Write speed is where the Sandforce drives clean its clock.

Yea, the write speeds on that drive seem to be not so good.

I'm pretty close to dropping $95 on the 40GB OWC drive myself. I can feel that my SSD (without SF controller) is slowing down considerably. :(
 
I just wanted to post back here with my results for this drive

I'm not sure if I'll have the sleep issues THGill had or not, but it seems to sleep fine, except for the auto-sleep(maybe the drive, maybe not)...

I think he just got a bad drive.

Although I have a ways to go from having a daily driver system :)
