    Just wondering since there are quite a few SSD enthusiasts out here.
    What is the best bang for the buck when it comes to 64GB SSD?

    With the rebate available right now, the 60GB OCZ Vertex, but 128GB G.Skill Falcon is the best priced drive currently at $339 ($2.64/GB).

    If I could buy right now, I'd go for the OCZ Vertex, for the price of a 80GB Intel you can get a 120 GB Vertex, or even a 250 gig one..

    Vertex 60GB is probably the best choice, but I'm going to put in a plug for the Samsung first-gen MLC 64GB too. I've been seeing 'em real close to $100 on eBay, at which point I think it's of comparable value (about half as fast and about half as cheap).

    EDIT: Scratch that, can't get the Samsung that cheap anymore. Go for the Vertex.
