Best <100 GB SSD boot drive

[davidjosepha]

I'm looking for a small SSD (< 100 GB) to boot Windows 7 off of for the computer I'll be building in a few weeks. I want it to be under $200, preferably under $150, but I'm willing to go a bit over that.

Currently, I've been looking at the Corsair Force 60GB but I'm looking for suggestions due to some problems people are experiencing with the drive. I'd also like closer to 80GB rather than 60, but the 80 version of that drive is significantly more expensive per GB than the 60, so I can't justify it. I will be using the drive for games and applications and Win 7, but not much media (also getting a 1 TB HDD).

Here are the other components in the system:
Asus P6X58D-E
Corsair Dominator 6GB (3 x 2GB) CMP6GX3M3A1600C7
Intel Core i7 950 3.06 GHz
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB
(Blu-ray drive, undecided)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM
Cooler Master HAF X RC-942-KKN1
Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V

Thanks for the help!

There are a few deals going on right now, so if you can jump on them this weekend, you'll probably save some money.

The 60GB OCZ Vertex 2, which is comparable to the Force 60GB, is $95 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227550

That's the cheapest it's ever been, by far. If you need more space than that, it's a big jump up in price. You missed a couple of good deals for Black Friday ($150 for 90GB OCZ, $165 for Intel 120GB), but there might be some better deals on Cyber Monday. Probably nothing under $150 for >80GB though.
