    You don't want that SSD if having the best performance is important. I regret getting my Vertex 3 drives... too slow with incompressible data and buggy Sandforce controller. Better off sticking with an Indilinx or Marvell controller based SSD. But, then again, for only $54.99 it's a whole heck of a lot faster than a HDD.
