    Depends on how much $$ you want to spend :D The Intel X-25Ms are quite decent, X-25Es cost more. Look for the ability to do TRIM, IIRC this is new for the 2nd generation X-25Ms. Whether it's first or second gen can be determined via the model no, e.g. SSDSA2MH160 G2R5.

    I'm not an expert but I think there are pretty good OCZ ones too. There's this drive on sale at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227508
    I'm wondering if its premium is really worth it... It's also interesting to see Crucial getting into this space, there must be some review for their SSDs somewhere...

    Sheesh, I wonder who from OCZ posted responses to the customer feedback. Tony? He really needs to watch his tone. He is the reason I don't use the OCZ forums. I'm sure Kellogg wouldn't like his avatar either.
