    I picked up the Crucial M4 256GB on egghead for $289 (looks like
    they just jacked up the price though)

    Newegg.ca - Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

    here is the review on it

    Crucial M4 256GB SATA 3 SSD Review - Vantage SSD Comparison & Conclusions - The SSD Review

    Got a bootup time of 18 seconds on my CF-53 without optimizations, after doing them as per SSD forum got speed down to 15 seconds ! Crazy fast !

    Have a good weekend !
