http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/100113-40gbsata-02.jpg (http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/value/overview.htm)Smaller sized / smaller priced SSD boot drives are a pretty attractive proposition for someone wanting to boost performance on a budget. Kingston's 40GB SSDnow (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/kingston-40gb-ssdnow-review/), for instance, was particularly well received at Engadget HQ recently, and now Intel's on the scene with its new X25-V Value line. With a 35MB/s write speed (as reported by Listed First) and a 65 / 110 microsecond read / write latency this isn't the fasted solid state drive out there -- in fact, at $130 (New Egg) it's a couple bucks more expensive than Kingston's faster alternative. But who knows? Maybe they'll slash prices, or one will fall off a truck in front of you. Stranger things have happened.
