Hi,
I saw a good deal in Fry's Electronics for the X25-V 40gb Intel SSD for just $69.99. Since I'll be upgrading to an SSD with a budget of $250, this triggered my interest.
Originally, I planned on buying a 2 x 64gb Vertex 2 or Agility 2 this coming thanksgiving sale and run these in Raid 0. There are no good sale yet for these drives.
BTW, I don't mind losing TRIM.
This is the link for the Fry's deal:

If I buy the Intel SSD, I'll spend $216 including tax and shipping. If I buy the Agility 2 now, it is $26 dollars more after rebate. Either way, I still meets my budget.
Please give me advice on what route to go, 3 x Intell SSD or 2 x OCZ sandforce drives?
BTW, I also have a 2 x 500gb Samsung Spinpoint drives that run in Raid 0. I use that as my storage and caching drive so that the SSD would get pounded much.
Thank you so much.
EDIT: I have a file server that backs up my stuff. So data loss (just incase of a drive failure in one of my raid drives) is safe.
