Just kickin' the tires here...have a friend who wants a small SSD for his laptop (he is hard on the HDDs!) :D and was thinking around the 60GB range would be good. He stores everything on a USB backup drive when at home. Anyway, just curious if some of you had eyes out for a good price on one lately?
Thanks.

This one I meant to post when I saw it but now they are sold out OCZ Vertex Plus OCZSSD2-1VTXPL60G $59.99 before $10.00 MIR. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227738&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL082611&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL082611-_-EMC-082611-Index-_-SSD-_-20227738-L0A) A Google search here (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=OCZ+Vertex+Plus+OCZSSD2-1VTXPL60G&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=vRQ&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1914&bih=1028&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=436438093319989619&sa=X&ei=0b9bTp7rCors0gHd6pWUCQ&ved=0CE0Q8wIwAA#scoring=tp) shows the lowest price at $70.96 w/Free shipping.

As JPM mentioned in a different thread the Agility 3 series is one of the best SSDs on the market. So the one STM posted is probably worth the extra cash.

Thanks guys! I checked that $59 one in F$'s link earlier and they were out of stock...but then checked this morning, and looks like they've got more in! :D So I just ordered that one. Sure, not as fast as some of the screamers, but my friend (Bob) will be pretty stoked with this. He just wants an SSD, because it seems like every time he even just "bumps" his laptop hard on something, the HDD goes out! :P hehe...the guy must have replaced 3 HDDS in the last year and a half...gets old. So he doesn't need lots of space, because now he stores everything on an external drive "just in case", but he wants something that won't be so fragile. I think this will fit the bill nicely. :)
