OCZ 128G "Petrol Series" SATA3 SSD - £59 (€74) + free delivery from Amazon UK.

Not the fastest SSD, but for the money pretty damn good for a cheap SSD

hmm....Some very mixed there reviews there. Seem to be a lot of issues. I would avoid this one and spend a bit extra to get something more reliable.

Agreed. If you do get one, you should definetly get the official firmware update, before you start using the SSD/ loading files on it.

That said, I've had mine (cheap 2nd hand) for about 5-6 weeks now as a log disk for a ZFS set - still running smothely

I'd steer clear of OCZ solid state drives personally. Haven't had any luck with them at all, and some of the reviews are awful.

Daily backups are a MUST with these drives! Not even the new Firmware helps preventing loss of Data.
The drives are, simply put, GARBAGE..

Better get a Samsung 830, which are almost at the same price level now.

Are these ssd drives better than the normal external drive?

I'd stick with a crucial m4 or a samsung 830. More expensive but definitely worth it.
