    Hello everyone!
    I'm thinking about buying an Intel X25-M SSD to my Lenovo T61p. I'm currently in Seattle area (Bellevue). Do you have any suggestion? Were could I go and buy one for a good price?

    Thanks!

    Also, keep in mind your t61p is limited to sataI speeds currently.

    Thanks for the advices.
    Do you reckon that newegg is my best option, there are no Best Buys or similar in this area?
    Being limited to sataI means that it does not work or that maximum transfer rate is capped?
    Thanks again!

    yes it will only work at about 150MB/s

    I consider the OCZ vertex in your situation... cheaper and faster write speeds.

    Buy from newegg, zipzoomfly, buy.com, etc. Whatever is cheaper. Best buy will rip you off.
