Cheap SSD

[T_Yamamoto]

Is there a cheap SSD that is reliable?
Just small enough for Win7

Im looking at the Mushkin 64 gb sata3 one

Just using an SSD for windows and not games+apps is pretty useless.

I'll probably have some games, Firefox, that's about it

The 60gb Mushkin Chronos is about $80, I'd splurge for a Crucial M4 64gb for around $85~90 or if you have the cash look at 40/80gb Intel 320. It's more expensive but Intel's proven reliability track record kind of makes it worth it.

Well, it can make a big difference in daily use. FF and browsing will be uber fast. A mediocre or slow PC with an SSD can feel very smooth.

Well I want it as cheap as possible

If you are willing to take a chance on SandForce I'm seeing the OCZ Agility3 60GB for right at $60 (usually AR.) I have one, it's not too bad; I've only had one glitch with it and it appears CKDSK fixed it without a firmware reflash, etc.

For absolute cheap, you are probably stuck with SandForce.

I've had good luck with sandforce.

m4 64GB.

You can get some old first generation SF's for less but you have been warned.

I was going to point out this FS thread:

But it shows that his 60GB OCZ Agility drive for $30 is "pending".

I almost snagged that myself when I saw it, it's a real good price for an SSD. Older, but mostly reliable.
