Searching for the Best OS/Boot SSD I've narrowed it down to these 2 SSD's
OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227550
Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Now I ask you SSD Experts here, which SSD is the: Better, Most Dependable, Reliable, Stable, SSD to use as the: ( Primary OS/Boot Drive )...??
I've read somewhere that when it comes to OS/Boot Drives the (4k Random Reads/Write IOPS) is the Key thing to look for...
Well the OCZ Vertex 2 has (4k Random Write (Aligned): 50,000 IOPS)
And for the Intel X25-M I not to sure on yet...??
I will be installing Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit onto the SSD I get..
And so far the HDD I have Win7 installed onto now is taking up 30GB of an 80GB Partition..!!
Both SSD's are in my reasonable price range of around $200..!!
On the link for the Intel SSD page, it says that the "Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MJ080G2XX" is Intel's latest version, better and faster..!!!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167027
But I have yet to see any comments or reviews on it yet so far..!!
Do any of you know of any Comparison Charts that put these 2 SSD's to the Test..??
Its so Hard to Decide what to get - can you guys help me narrow down my choice please..??
