..so what ~60GB for Win7 and software should I go for now?

OCZ seems to be having problems with the sandforce...
M4 doesnt seem to be as fast as the Agility though...

Where the difference in speed would be seen? (with 2500K, 8GB RAM, Z68 board)?

I hear the Crucial ones are good so how about this.

If you want good (not amazing) read AND write speeds then the OCZ 2E are fine. OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive

I believe the problems with the OCZ series 3 affect a small percentage of drives and that is related to a Firmware issue. The Corsair drives need hardware changes so are being replaced.

Its not a huge deal to me that there are some issues with OCZ, but Ive constantly read that OCZ does only well in benches while real life is completly different.

The drive won't have sequential work to do almost at all so dunno what to buy.. I hate spending money knowing that it could have been better spend on something else.

Corsair are recalling their drives, wait for their new ones and then buy one of them

Went for the 64GB M4 as price, size and reliability were the main criteria

I have had the Crucial m225 120gb (now in my laptop), the Crucial C300 64gb in my desktop, and I am thinking of the M4 120gb.

I find the crucial drives are very good and fast. They have a very good 4k read and write.
The sandforce drives are having problem with firmware and they compress data on the fly meaning they read and write large files like divx videos slower then the speeds they state.
Therefore I prefer intel or Crucial as they are both very reliable and fast no matter the data type.
