I've used Patriot, OCZ, and Intel's SSDs. I would recommend Intel over the others. In my experience, the Intel drives are faster, higher quality, and have much better support.<p>You might want to wait until the 25nm SLC SSD's hit market, which, if I had to hazard a guess, will probably happen in January. <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/16/intel_lyndonville/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/16/intel_lyndonville/</a>

I also recommend intel, had one of the very early ones fail after a year, but got quick no-questions replacement.
