i really dont need the best of the best, but i also dont want to waste money on an ssd that is gonna give me velociraptor speeds. :p im looking for around 40-80GB, and under $100 used. ideally, a low-end 60GB for $80ish would be great. what models should i be looking for? again, i will be buying used, but i dont know which models dont have trim, or have some other reason why i should avoid them so im just looking for what models i should be considering. thanks!

ps: is 40gb gonna be enough for windows 7 professional and a couple big programs and 2 or 3 big steam games at once or should i be shooting for at least 60gb?
 
OCZ Vertex 1 can be found at a good price. For OS and a few programs 40GB is fine but if you want to put some big games I'd go 60GB minimum. The price for SSD drives is falling fast. You can get Vertex 2 variants for like ~145$CAD here in Canada
 
If you really can get by with 40GB get the Intel X25-V. I bought one on Friday and that thing craps all over my Velociraptor.
 
You can get a 64gb kingston drive for $99 after rebate, it is a great drive.
