Indilinx, Intel, or wait. Decisions, decisions.

kingston is moving the 40gb to 30gb to stop competing with x25-v.

a poor choice imo. the 30/40gb line is clearly a make it or break it.

30gb is fine for netbooks or thin clients but windows 7 ultimate+office+etc?? no way.

odd move imo

I agree. After seeing issues with TRIM on 30GB drives at the OCZ forum (i.e. not enough free space to effectively move stuff around for garbage collection and TRIM), I think 40GB is the minimum and personally, I would recommend 60GB or more. I guess if you can keep the 30GB drive under 50% full, might not be so bad but that's difficult to do these days (in my opinion).

Hey guys, been following this thread for a while... What do you think about the OWC (not to be confused w/ OWC) sandforce based SSD to get released today? I can't find poewr consumption numbers... Here is the link: http://www.legitreviews.com/news/7253/

It'll be amazing, and expensive. It's going enterprise first and then trickle down to "budget" models in several months. Yeah, $4 /GB. ugh.

My order was canceled, on their end. 🙁 I guess they ran out before it was over. Back to square one looking for another drive.

I have found a Vertex 120GB for $300, that seems like a pretty good deal.

Was an Ebay purchase. NIB Vertex 120GB $300 shipped. I snagged one, should be what I was looking for.
