Thanks to Intel and their cheap manufacturing process on their new X25M SSDs, they have been able to create a new low cost SSD just for booting for your OS.

For 85 dollars you get a 40GB SSD. While this doesn't sound fantastic, if you begin to realize that the 80GB SSD costs 300 you begin to see the value in this.

And if you want to read the detailed review comparing it against the other SSDs feel free to check out my buddy nate's site.

i think i paid about USD140 each for my 30gigs about a year ago, so this going in the right direction....you really need 2 though as 40 gig is too small and these things fly in a RAID array

I will hopefully be getting 2 64GB SSDs from Corsair and 2 2TB HDDs from Seagate to compare for a review.
