+1 My first SSD was a OCZ Vertex (1st version) – cost SGD$650 in 2009 for 128GB. Was a gamble at the time, but given the rave reviews I was reading on the internet, thought I’d give it a go wondering around Sim Lim and having not bought anything so far. Have never looked back despite a few failures.

Crucial M4 or the newer C500 Where are you based? www.staticice.com.au<http://www.staticice.com.au> is pretty good for locating stores/prices/stock.

My old HDD from my home workstation decided it's that time of it's lifetime when work is no longer on its books so I need to replace it. PS>> Maybe also a place I could buy it and pick it up today.
