Looking at those prices you could near on get 2 x X25-m’s for the price of the Vertex LE and use raid 0 to get a faster set up and an extra 120GB of storage space. All I’ve read about the Vertex LE so far is disappearing drives and slowdowns in performance.
The Crucial C300 is not a bad drive by the looks of it but the latency seems to suck a bit. Not sure if that would be noticeable. Price per GB is comparable to the X25-M.
What about the X25-V version? $125 for 40GB. You could raid 6 of them and have some change left over for the price of the Vertex LE.
