    $219 for the speeds is an amazing deal..i saw something like 550/510? That's ridiculously fast...my 128gb M4 was $200 (w/ discount) and only does 415/400 or something like that..still not bad, and I've heard crucial is more reliable than OCZ.

    Still, $219 is an awesome price.

    The last Corsair SSD Force was the fastest SATA2 SSD. Not by a lot but it still was. :)

    I believe corsair is a much much better company than OCZ.

    Force 3 is a truly beast. Guess I will move the X25-M G2 160GB to optical drive and use force 3 as the main drive. 280GB on the go is more than enough to deal with anything!

    Kindly post a link to this Force 3 hard drive when it comes out? I'm quite interested too.
