Is the OCZ Octane 128 gb at S$125 consider a good buy ? Using Indilinx chipset and Synchronous memory.

I don't know. My OS hdd already have 70GB used on a 2 TB hdd as I install more new program to the HDD.

Few ways of saving huge space on SSD ( if you don't require them ):

1) Reduce paging file size
2) Disable restore function
3) Disable hibernation

That said, my personal preference would be to get at least a 120/128gb.
More breathing room ( for other programs/games )

If I want to upgrade my 2012 13" MBP, should I get the Crucial m4 256GB or a Vertex 3 256GB? No need for the latest drives.

Based on Tradepac price, it has already taken effect. And since I bought yesterday at $155, this is a real deal.

that is why i asking if that is USD or SGD price.... if it's SGD price then it means we'd see the 120GB Intel 330 to be in the range of $120 next month?? :D

USD149 is about SGD190...
USD104 is about SGD133...

The article on VR-zone? It is already stated there prices in USD..

See last line..
All prices mentioned above are in USD, excluding taxes, and the OEM prices are price-per-unit in multi-unit quantities.

ps.. don't forget GST...
