I was going to replace my 320GB 5400RPM drive in my mini with a 750GB Scorpio Black but the drive was DOA so I have had a rethink. I have repurposed and old FW800 1TB drive I had and now can accommodate an SSD as the main drive. Any recommendations? The interface is SATA II. I was thinking Crucial M4 128GB.
 
In order... Samsung 830, Crucial M4 and Plextor. Even though your mini only supports SATA2, all the current drives are SATA3 and if you are like most people here you will probably re-purpose the drive sometime in the future.
 
Thanks for the replies. The Samsung is about 30% more than either the Crucial or the Plextor so I'll probably go for the Crucial. Let's see how long I can stand the noise from the 7200RPM Seagate I installed yesterday as a stopgap.
