Just installed the new SSD - superb so far. Very pleased for the cash spent (now selling slightly above what I paid, but consider it a bargain at £81.98 inc vat + delivery)
The basic stats if anyone else is considering a cheap SSD option:
I don't have SATA 6gbs (just standard SATA II from Gigabyte motherboard).

I know its not the fastest, but ordered one of these:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/195355
Amazing price tbh....
Sorry dude, you've made a poor choice. That's the SNV425 model, based on Jmicron 618, which although not catastrophic like the SNV125, is a pretty poor SSD with abysmal random writes. The SNV325 model is pretty good, just to make things confusing.
For £1.64 more you could have had one of these -
http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductID=1231629
- Vertex 2E 60GB (same formatted space as the 64GB kingston). The Vertex 2E is a far better drive.
Comparison here -
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/152?vs=154
Cheers, but I was actually fully aware of the limitations of the Kingston device - I merely point out that I was able to get it (with free delivery) for a bargain price. The device (when compared to my HDD) is still superior.
The OCZ is £106.33 Inc VAT + delivery. A good price for sure, but I paid £76 INC VAT for the Kingston with free delivery. I do see now that Ebuyer have shot the price up to £100 inc vat, so no, I'd not buy it again at that price! For £76 though... couldn't resist!
At the time I posted the link above, the Kingston was still £76. I agree that it's not worth spending £100 when the price differential with other devices doesn't justify it.
PS. If the Kingston is abysmally bad, then I know that e-buyer are pretty good on their returns policy. I've returned goods before under the "not of the quality I expected" heading and they've been more than fair on every occasion.. unlike other suppliers I could mention.

What's the tech law thing? Boils Law? Computers will become twice as powerfull, or half the price, every 12 months.
These are truly interesting times. And from an end user point of view I think this can only get better. Either getting more for our money or getting better performance.
At the moment I'm still not fully convinced about solid state. Currently for the money I'd rather get a fast spinning mechanical drive. Also, wasn't there something about how the data blocks need reshuffeling as the drive becomes more populated. Sort of needing a perminant low level defrag thing going on? But again, I think this something that will only improove and get better over time.
Wasn't there a video/advert of someone who raided 20 odd SSD and ripped an entire DVD in less time than it took for said DVD to fall out of a first floor window? Now that's the kinds of pants wettingly exciting speeds I'm interested in. However I'm too poor and ignorant to do anything about it.

I saw a video of a Raid about 20 SSDs which could open the entirety of Microsoft Office in 0.5 seconds. I was impressed.

eBuyer are doing a good deal on 1TB Samsung F3's at the moment. I believe these drives are rated very highly and perform well.
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804
Usually £47.99 - you can get them for £40 is you use the code HDDSAVER
Plus if you spend over £50 you get free 5 day delivery.
Seemed like a good deal to me so I've ordered one

Today only prices if you pre-order,
http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-007-PA
... Patriot Inferno 60GB, same specs as the Vertex 2E, £85 inc VAT.
http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-008-PA
... Patriot Inferno 120GB, same specs as Vertex 2E, £152 inc VAT.
Stunning value for a decent drive, prices are only for pre-orders though and stock arrives tomorrow, after which they go up to £100/£180.
Next gen of drives won't arrive for another 4 months, I wouldn't expect prices to fall much from the norm until then.

Good thing I'm planning my next PC in four months then... Though TBH I doubt I'll invest in SSD. Maybe if they drop the size to more like 16gb or 32. I don't have 64gb of stuff that needs rapid access.
