    Will definitely work. Not sure how good it is. The Newegg reviews are generally positive, but a lot of them suggest that the drive stutters under heavy random writing. I personally probably wouldn't buy it.

    The only G.Skill I would buy is the Titan, and there have been reports of that stuttering.

    Cheap SSD's are cheap for a reason. The Corsair 128gb should be good, since it uses a Samsung controller. Samsungs are good, as are Intels.

    Are there any around 200$ that are good? I only need 64gb. I have an external 320gb 2.5" I carry around with me.

    Look for a Samsung 64Gb, you might be able to get one for 250 or so on eBay.

    If you use SteadyState (free from MS) it resolves random write issues for the most part. also if you aren't doing alot of writes you won't get affected to badly.

    I bought one of those SSD's 2 day's ago still waiting for it to ship from the egg.

    remember your getting what you pay for, if you want bleeding edge preformance with out the lag issue, then you have to pay. if you really want a really fast SSD get the 80GB intel SSD.

    I just picked up the Intel X25 80gb for my desktop.. will see how that works out and possibly try it or the OCZ vertex in my laptop. Still have to get a WD 2tb Green drive for my desktop.. toys add up fast!
