Intel X25-M SSD's seem to be best for customer use right now. For server use, be prepared to pay triple price.
I've been looking at SSD's and the Intel drives seem to be coming up with a lot of good reviews. The cost / gig is still much higher than a spinning disk though. I was thinking of going with and 80 gig SSD as my main drive with Windows 7, main apps, etc and using my terabyte spinning drive for backup/storage. Just curious what others are doing as far as SSD use/config for personal home PC's?
