20GB? What will you do with that? Win 7+pagefile will alone take 15GB+, you need 60GB atleast.

OCZ Vertex Plus OCZSSD2-1VTXPL60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive SSD (This one's better)

Id suggest the sandforce controller based OCZ Agility 3 60GB ssd. Very good value for the performance it offers

Agility3 is one of the cheapest SSD that is terrific VFM but most will go for the cheaper Kingston drive.

then just grab the cheapest SSD you can find at Flipkart. in other PC shops price will be bit less. But remember you'll be wasting money that way.

@op,
sam is right in that, if you buy a cheapest one because you want to buy a ssd then you are absolutely wasting your money.so better don't buy our buy a better one.

As I had said earlier, suppose you have a 30GB SSD, most you can use will be 25GB from that, win 7 will take 12-15GB(installation+pagefile), where will you put your programs now? Also you won't be able to use system restore cause it takes 5GB easily.

Right now, with a moderate no. of programs, 55GB is being used on the C Drive in my PC.
