i used the agility drive for a build once. heard good things about vertex, too, but the crucial m4 was the one i was leaning towards.
i read somewhere that you need to keep half the drive free for garbage collection... this is not you all's experience? also, as far as the pagefile and temporary internet files... would you suggest placing one or both of those on a seperate drive? i've displaced those off my kingston drive for the build in my sig, so i've not seen what happens when they are on the ssd.
how about longevity? is there a chance the drives have a short life? they will be going in systems that will be shipped to customers, and i don't want to have to replace a bunch of drives a year down the road.
i think 128 gigs would be enough for our customers, but my boss is leaning towards 256.
