Want a boot drive?

[Majic 7]

Now that I have your attention. Kingston 40GB with Intel internals. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1111/1/ The 84.99 is at Newegg after a rebate. Should be available Nov 9. This will be an intro price, no telling what it will be normally.

Saw that - this has to be fairly tempting for those that haven't jumped on the SSD bandwagon yet.

Write speeds are super anemic though. On the other hand, if it were possible to buy two for $85 (rebate tomfoolery), it could be an interesting in Raid 0 versus an 80GB X25-M as it would be a bit cheaper.

If that drive had "trim" it would be more interesting.

It's supposed to get trim according to Kingston.

Either way, SSD performance degradation is not as big of a deal as people make it out to be.

I'm totally in for at least two in a RAID-0 config. I have my Win 7 disc, but have been waiting to install because I want to jump on the SSD bandwagon first.

I'm in. It fits my buget and I want to jump on the SSD bandwagon. Tired of hearing my wife and kids complain about 3 minute Windows boot times.

In my opinion, Kingston has done an excellent job of focused marketing with this product. It's perfect for my situation. I plan on spending a little more and getting the "Desktop" bundle with the cables, 2.5-to-3.5 bracket, and Acronis True Image software.....all for an extra $15. I think that's a deal.

Anyone know if NewEgg will accept pre-orders for this? Or do we have to wait until 11/09 to order?
