Intel X25-V 40GB SSD

I'm probably gonna end up getting one this week... It's $10 cheaper at Provantage btw, at 'least when shipped to Puerto Rico. :p (probably only $2-3 cheaper if you live within the continental US)

Seems to be priced roughly the same everywhere else that I checked... Seems to be readily available, so far. Cost per GB is higher than I'd like, but it's still a low enough price point for me to bite... Any higher and it really wouldn't be worth it as I'm putting this on my netbook for now (already got an 80GB X25-M G2 on my desktop). Same reason the low sequential write speed doesn't bother me, it'll still be better or on par with the current HD in the netbook, and random writes is what it's all about.

I probably won't be transferring large chunks of data to it anyway, I'll just take the existing 160GB HD out of the netbook and slot it into an external 2.5mm enclosure so I can start using that instead for movies/data on long trips (otherwise a 16GB SDHC card is all I really need). I debated going w/the 30GB Agility (priced $5 less than this Intel drive), but I think I'd rather have the extra 10GB than better sequential write speeds.
