    Okay.. I'm am torn between 2 SSD's

    Which one?

    OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SATAII - $240.00 plus shipping

    or

    OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD -$289 with shipping

    I though I was sure about the OWC but this is my first SSD and more worried about getting the best overall SSD than getting the most bang for my buck .. within my $295 budget

    Vertex 2 is good enough, you won't notice any difference with the OWC.

    OCZ Onyx 2 120GB will soon be selling for less than $200.
