OCZ OCZSSD2-1VTX96G Vertex Solid State Drive - 96GB, 2.5", SATA II
It is being sold for $169.99. Good price for a SSD that is nearly 100 GB. I don't think i'm allowed to post links to websites which sell stuff so pm me and i'll send it to you

Search for that drive in Slickdeals and you'll find a way to save another $22 via Bing Cashback, as well as a discussion on the merits of the drive.

That is an OCZ Vertex based off of an Indilinx controller. I use them in 3 out of my 4 computers, and they are friggin fantastic. You will LOVE the performance, and how "fun" your computer feels after putting that SSD in.

They recently came out with the 96GB size. I really wish that they had the 96GB size when I was buying SSD's, because it's a really great balance between price and storage capacity... 64GB is too small, 128GB is too expensive. 96GB for $170 is *just* right .

So go for it, and let us know what you think
