Budget SSD? any new ones?

Hey, I've read a few threads about new gen SSD cards out soon or recently released so I'm unsure of what to buy.

So far I've seen
Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB
OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB
and Kingston 64GB SSDNOW V100 (not on OC)

I'm not too bothered about speed but of course more is better, just after 1 for a quiet PC but maybe if any slightly bigger ones are coming out soon eg 100gb it would be better.
Also do any come with 2.5 adaptors? thank you

c400 is coming out soon,

Corsair Force F40 is currently on offer, only 40gb, but slightly less

I'm in a similar boat myself, trying to decide wither or not to go for a Corsair Force SSD or to get an older model such as a C300

Guess I'll wait then, looks like c400 will around same price as c300 but with more speed.
thanks

doesnt look like there are any low capacity new drives coming out if the vertex 3's are anything to go by

Having recently bought a WD Green 1TB, and then suspended it from bungee cord, I am happy to report it's effectively inaudible. In other words, the only reason to get an SSD is speed.

And for that speed you'll basically be paying through the nose for at least another year. They're making these drives bigger and faster, not cheaper.
