    Looking for at least 100gb? Was told this notebook doesn't support raid so it currently useless to buy two of them.

    Also needs to support some feature with dumping memory forget what it is called?

    Any suggestions? Intel X-25 or likewise ones?

    OCZ, Intel X-25 M's, Kingston (non value), Crucial, Corsair. All perform great, and all support TRIM.

    Intel X25 160gb G2 ( R5 $449 or C1 $439) has worked really well for me, no problems so far and blazing fast, OCZ vertex is also well regarded, but if i were buying probably would stick again with X25, im just waiting for 360gb G3 version for my desktop.

    I have the Intel X25 and love it, although others have gotten higher crystal disk marks with other brands.

    also with the Vetex on ebay it is a limited item. It is a hybrid Sandforce controller based on the 1500 version of that controller but due to teh cost going forward OCZ will not be offering and SSD with a SF1500 going forward just the SF1200.

    I'm selling my Mushkin 128GB SSD if interested in the NBR Marketplace. It worked very well in my G73.

    Based upon others here I have purchased the Intel X-25 G2 80GB. Seems to be a strong replacement for the HDD installed from the factory.
