Just ask us what to buy. There are a bunch of people in this thread that are familiar with plenty of what's on the market. What's your budget and minimum capacity?

Memex has the Vertex 2 for $189 after rebates if you need something local. It's a huge jump up from the Imation for $65 more. I still think these prices will fall a bit more once the SATA-III drives become more readily available, if you can wait.
I don't think that Imation drive has trim or garbage collection either. A cheap controller. It's not a good drive.
