Summit
Vertex
SuperTalent

in that order

I would chose a OCZ model as they update their Firmware frequently to provide fixes and to improve performance.
That is something that I think is really important considering how fast this technology is moving right now.
 
I would go with a Corsair P series before the summit. In everything I have seen the Summit's performance has been kinda crappy.

I would take the SuperTalent(or a Falcon or Torqx) before the vertex as they are 100% identical (exact same chips, even the firmware is exact) but cheaper. All of them also support the same firmware updates.
 
i have the super talents and i love them, my friend has the vertex and we get even speeds. they are almost 100% identical

Fyi.

Mwave has it for 150 after MIR which is a KILLER price.

Intel25m 80gb has a lower write speed than the Vertex drives. So wouldn't that make the Vertex a better choice? Can someone fill me in here?
 
Intel drives have the highest read/write random IOPS in the market, making overall performance better in most if not all real world situations. If you do a good amount of large data transfer then the X25-M might not be the best drive for you.

It's only the sequential writes which are the least most common type of action going to be performed on the dive, probably far less than 10% will be sequential writes. Everything else they are basically the best on, and now since they compete on the $/gb so well, its hard to not get an Intel one.

Fixed

least most? FAIL

Yea now that Intel has their $/gb in a competitive price range, theres not muc reason to get anything else, unless you need higher capacities.

I am interested to see what OCZ and Samsungs next move will be though.
 
I do the 30gb vertex drives for htpc's but otherwise only intel's go in other non-server machines.

Whoops, lol I had to read that 2 or 3 times to actually see what the difference was, but yeah I meant least common :)
