Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD3-2VTX120G 3.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Vertex 2 128GB under $200.

That OCZ is a 3.5" drive though and his posted is a 2.5" are you getting it for a laptop?

I would go with the OCZ if for a desktop just for the warrentee. I would otherwise find reviews on the Micro Center drive

Twice the price, and you're relying on a rebate (which I loathe...waiting on one myself for my 60GB V2 I got a month or so ago...lol)

My OS and apps fit on 60gb no problems! But that is a good deal.

The MicroCenter has the same controller and the OCZ, 4GB more and the same 3 year warranty...

NewEgg has great prices, but some people are lucky enough to live near an MC.
I like to walk in/walk out with stuff when possible...eliminate the mail wait.

oops sorry didn't see the 3 year warranty at the bottome. I also looked for reviews, but I have not found any yet.

Highly suggest looking at the Crucial Real SSD 64gb Sata III for $130.00
Crucial RealSSD 64 GB Internal hard drive

The Crucial is a nice piece if you have a 6.0 Gb/s capable mobo, no doubt.
Otherwise, I don't think it's specs are as good as the V2 or this drive from MC.

I've been looking for a reason to upgrade my girl's PC...think I just found it...:)

Greg, be careful with Buy.com. They are very iffy when it comes to serve their customers.

Just FYI it's backward compatible. In my system it affords me a WEI of 7.7 for the drive score !

Any word of BF sales for Microcenter. I too am 10 minutes away.
