Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"

My HOA has one of these agreements and honestly, it's not a bad thing. $25 of my monthly assessment goes toward basic cable. I only pay $15.99 a month to Comcast for every digital channel offered aside from any premiums, aside from Internet and DVR rental.
We are still free to have dishes if wanted, but the Comcast spigot is on in every unit in our association. Not that I'm a huge proponent of Comcast, but at least it's better than poor quality HD coming down from either of the two satellite providers.
But it's not free. If you wanted satellite (let's say you like Sunday Ticket, for example), you'd be throwing $25 away.
The association shouldn't be forcing people to pay money for television, that's not their job.
And as the article says, when people start foreclosing, the association takes in less money, and if there's a contract in place for cable TV then you're going to lose things like lawn care and tree replacement before you lose the TV which is just stupid.
Poor quality HD from Satellite? You must not have looked at Dish or DTV lately. I actually ran both Cox & DirecTV side by side for awhile to test out the quality difference. DTV Is 10x better than Cox. I tested in a Phillips 42" 1080P LCD and an Epson 1080P Projector. DirecTV has better black, sharper image, and is all around a lot higher quality whereas Cox was pixelated, jagged and just a horrible image. I had Comcast back in Seattle because I couldn't get DTV where I was located and it was just as bad as Cox. For high quality HD you can't beat Satellite.
Low quality HD from satellite? LMAO, DirecTV HD kicks the ass of any cable provider out there with it comes to HD picture quality. Only HD provider that's better in terms of PQ are the fiber providers (FIOS, U-Verse) since their feeds are uncompressed. Stop talking out of your ass with those ignorant comments.
FIOS/U-Verse are compressed out the yin-yang.
An uncompressed 720p signal would be 165 megabytes per second. FIOS/U-Verse deliver much less bandwidth than this.
why not the LS2/LS7?,
You are not correct. FiOS is one of the only providers that doesn't compress the signal any further.
FiOS is much closer to a traditional cable co, then to U-Verse, they are nothing alike. FiOS doesn't even use VOIP for anything but VOD, while U-verse uses it for everything.
