    I found some SSD's like :

    1- OCZ OCZSSD1-2VTX120G ( 450$ ) the most expensive.
    2- Kingston SSDNow V+180 128GB ( 240$ )
    3- Toshiba SSD 128GB THNS128GG4BAAA ( 170$ )
    4- INTEL X18-M 160GB SSDSA1MH160G2 ( 280$ )
    5-Samsung 1.8" 128GB MMCRE28G8MXP-OVBH1 ( about 180$)

    all of these ssd's are quite old, 2 or 3 years old.

    What is ur recommendations ?? (The price is not a problem)

    See my sig for microSATA SSDs. The Sandforce units would be the fastest. Problem is that 1.8" microSATA appears to being phased out by mSATA and 7mm 2.5" SATA with few manufacturers giving new microSATA SSD options.

    A workaround would be to obtain say a Runcore T50 (SF2xxx) and a microSATA connector, then solder the 9 wires between them to adapt it.

    C300 is one of the best 1.8 drives out there along with X18-M
