Default 80GB Intel X25-M Gen2 $259.
Newegg.ca - Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2C1 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks

or the 160GB for $500
Newegg.ca - Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH160G2C1 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks

This is definitely the best price to performance drive out there now @ only $3.25/GB.

It looks like prices have come down. That 160GB is tempting.

FYI

DO NOT SET BIOS PASSWORD... it can corrupt the second gen SSDs until Intel releases a firmware fix.
