    You aren't going to get cheap in a 1.8" drive of any kind, let alone SSD.

    Good? Well, I see Kingston V+180 and Intel 320 drives on the market (Newegg) which aren't bad in performance. The Intel drive will probably be the most reliable. OWC makes their Aura Pro 1.8", which will probably be the fastest. OCZ makes some too, but luckily they seem to be OOS at Newegg.

    Really, you don't have many choices for 1.8" SSD, so you take what you can get.

    They just don't make that many 1.8" drives now, especially with makers now switching to 5mm and 7mm drives. Economies of scale is how they drive down the cost. Probably your best shot is to get lucky on a eBay auction.
