Boot SSD

[Peppered]

I am looking to update my boot drive I have seen a lot on SSD's but don't now what one's make for a good boot drive now days, Intel use to be the one to go with but not sure if that still stands.
I may even consider running two of them in a 0 array if they are cheap enough and reliable.
I now Trim is said to be better that I think they call it garbage collection but if it works then I don't care.

I should also note i don't want to spend much more than $400 max cheaper would always be better lol.

$400 is plenty nowadays. I'd normally recommend a 60GB drive like the Vertex 2 60GB for $105 AR. If you want more space, you could get the Vertex 2 120GB for $200 AR. Performance will be very similar, the bigger one is just well, bigger.

If you can wait a month I believe several of the Gen 3 drives will be coming out. Intel - Crucial and and bunch of SF-2000 drivess will be released.

$400 will get you a KILLER drive from most makers.
