I am looking for a solid state drive for my laptop.

My dillemma: I have been waiting for the new Intel SSDs since Q3/2010, as I've heard they should be better and cheaper, due to lower memory manufacturing costs.

Now it looks like the new Intel drives are very fast, but still expensive. I would still buy one of them if I could benefit from the full speed. My hardware only has a SATA-2 port though.

Thus, my question:

• Is it worthwhile to buy one of those new Intel SSDs made for SATA-3 if I won't be able to use the full speed?
• Are there any other promising new SSDs that will be released soon? (Inside the next 1-2 months)
• If I wouldn't make a good deal buying the newer, faster drives, what drives can you recommend?

I don't consider this question subjective, as I am mainly looking for answers concerning the SATA-2/SATA-3 conflict.
