    i'd say kingston is more than enough as long as someone can confirm it is the second generation one..

    I have the kingston ssdnow v+, its a toshiba hg2, got for $180 for the 128gb on ebay brand new. Little did I know at the time, I could have had the exact same drive under the toshiba name for $150. They are also sold under the supertalent name, and come with the apple, lenovo etc logos. So shop around.

    if you want value, get the kingston, if you want speed get a vertex2, not the old turbo. Its been discontinued. Vertex2 120gb go for $300 around here.

    Kingston is better for battery life, Vertex 2 is better for pure performance.
