For a good SSD from 120-160GB I think you are looking at the $500 range. There are a few 120GB SSDs at newegg for the $250-$300 range but I think you'll be getting what you paid for.

The Intel X25-MG2 80Gig is around that price range and its what most users here get.

If your a college student, your better off saving your money.

SSDs are unnecessary luxuries.

Chose 2.

• budget is $200 - $250
• more than an 80 gb
• good performance (SSD vs SSD wise)

lol, not really. I am a college student and I use the Intel 160 Gb, if you can afford a Mac you can easily add the extra for the SSD. In the states it's all cheap anyway, I dropped 2600 usd so far on my 13" 2.26 Ghz MBP with the Intel 160 Gb drive. That would be what? 1700 in the states? That's cheap.

You can never spend too much, you can only make too little . That's what I live by, this year I wanna pour money into starting a watch collection and traveling, so ill have to step up my working while doing the studies.

I would suggest getting a good quality drive, and checking on ebay or craigslist. I got a 120gb OCZ Vertex for $200 on ebay brand new. A good drive on your budget can be done.
