The laptop will mainly be running linux, with a few docs that I need.

Crucial C300 64GB SSD - 99.99 today only. GOGOGO

The two SSDs that you posted aren't good for the money. Go for the Crucial C300 64GB ASAP!

That crucial is a much better drive for the price

Thanks guys. My x200 doesnt support sata 3 (6.0gbs). I am assuming it will clock it down to the sata 2 speed?

 

[tiraides]

Yes. Buy the damn thing NOW!

sold out before I got to it.

Based on the sandforce 1222

I have a return item that would bring it to $100.

Still not that good of a choice. The Crucial C300 64GB SSD that zaxour posted is still worth the extra $35.

C400 comes out in February, supposedly $1.61/GB.

It's 129 at micro center. I can wait for another sale.

I found a good SSD guide at bit-tech. I see what you guys were saying. The controller on the Crucial is superior to all of the others.

That micro center drive is about a 100 dollar drive. Look for the adata on newegg it's the same drive
