I believe that's just a rebadged Intel SSD. Be aware that the 40GB has lower performance than larger Intel SSDs.

Here's a good review of that drive. It is not simply a rebadged Intel as Intel does not make a 40GB version of that model, but it is based on the 34nm Intel drives.

If 40GB is enough for you, this is a pretty good deal.

I think the Kingston is just a rebadged Intel X25-V 40GB (34nm), a newer Intel SSD.

Ah, I missed that Intel released their own 40GB version. Initially, it was only a Kingston.

I have two Super Talents, one in my 10v and one in my 9 and I may be buying a 1.8" to put in a Zune. No problems here with mine and prices are modest.
