    If so how is it? Fast? Any regrets? I'm trying to decide between the intel 320 and the intel 510.

    I have one en route from Buy.com. It should arrive by the end of the week. 120GB 510.

    I've bought the intel 320 .. it works great. I think the speed is not that fast compared to the 510 for sure but it uses intel controller rather than third party..

    Yeah, I was going to go that route until I read Anandtech's review of the 510. His initital doubts RE: the third-party controller were put to rest. Plus the 510 128GB was $250 at Buy.com which is a pretty good price. We'll see how it performs with the M14x!
