40-64GB mid-performance SSD

[Ducman69]

Hi guys, wanting to reinstall Windows7 on my Dell Zino HD HTPC, and would like to upgrade the drive to a smallish 40-64GB SSD.

I've done some reading, but fear some of that info is out of date.

Is there a consensus on a good mid-range SSD in that capacity? Looking for the best bang for the buck.

I think Intel X25-V 40GB offers great value and especially good random read performance. sequential write is on the low side (40MB/s).

Best for system disks that don't do much writing but mostly random reads.

Awesome thanks, what about this guy:

Only $90 and appears to be slightly quicker.

Found review here: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1242/7/ They say it does have TRIM support now, which hopefully is not an error. It is a bit small, but hopefully should suffice for a simple HTPC (all the movies/pics/etc are on my home server).
