OCZ SSD 2.5" SATA 40G Vertex 2 MLC SATAII
Already extremely cheap, even cheaper with coupon code for price of $158.40 inc GST.
Coupon code: CPVAMWMK
Yeah would hardly say it's a bargain but ehh it's cheaper, however I would personally pay the $290 for the 80Gb Intel ones from Fluidtek atleast Eddie does the best deals
The 80GB intel G2 is actually slower than the OCZ Vertex 2. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/125?vs=152. But the Intel 80GB G2 is a sweet spot for size vs. price
Or buy this for $189. ($200 delivered using Australia Air Express)

I find that 40GB is just not enough. Much better to get at least a 60GB unit.
Yeah my 120gb SSD for Win7 is 84% full :/ I actually never thought it would get this full so quickly. It pays to have a larger drive.
And yes for $20 I would definitely get an extra 20gb over the 40gb OCZ :)
dont know what your installing on it i have 2*32GB drives in SSD for the OS and haven't even half filled them with the OS… though i have moved my swap files and temp files onto the main storage drives…(to extend the life of the SSDs)
typically i install apps on the SSD's everything else goes onto standard drives.
My understanding is that the smaller the hard-disk the shorter is its life - the little space that remains unoccupied means less memory for controller to spread its writes cycles. In other words, a small drive, unless definately only used for read-only is not a good investment no matter how quick.
This is MLC - - what's the cheapest SLC available?
I vote + purely…as at least SOMEONE is trying to be cheapest in SSD (priceengine is gone…for now)
hopefully more SSD deal coming?
We need a deal on the G.Skill Phoenix PRO 60GB SSD. It's supposedly a hell of a SSD drive :)
Cheapest on staticice is $167.20 so i dont know if this is a huge bargain?
