Intel X25-V 40 GB

This is a 40GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. At roughly $1.5 per gigabyte it sits in the mid-range tier. Sequential throughput reaches 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Its $59.99 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost.
