SSD choices and questions about setup

[Slaymate]

I'm using a SSD with Windows XP x64 on one of my PC's, it's working good for me.

I think it's A-Data. Personally I would go for a OCZ if possible since the tend to have the best support.

I dont really care about support on anything besides video card and motherboards. A 99 dollar Sandforce based 64GB SSD is pure pwnage.

OCZ drives have been nearly that cheap before though. Plus at least some of them come with a nice 2.5" to 3.5" adapter that's worth a few bucks too.

I know their last gen SSDs were, but I don't know if these are.

edit: Must be A-Data S599. Specs are similiar

Ive never seen a sandforce based 64GB SSD ever that cheap. And youve seen my PC, i dont need an adapter
