Last year Kingston introduced a 40GB version of Intel's X25-M G2 for less than $100 after mail in rebate. Since then, Kingston and Intel couldn't agree on terms for continuing to offer Kingston's 40GB drive. The two called it a day and Kingston is no longer making the drive.

In a clearly unrelated move, Intel has started shipping its first 40GB SSD: the X25-V.  Effectively the same drive as last year's Kingston 40GB SSDNow V Series Boot Drive but with official TRIM support, the X25-V retails for $125.

 

We got our hands on an X25-V and put it through the paces against Kingston's newfound replacement: the Toshiba based 30GB SSDNow V Series.
