    Yea looks great, hopefully it'll be a bit cheaper than the original core series as well.

    I hope they fixed the problems of the first series, I'm about to send my V1 64gb for RMA.

    They are still too expensive to be practical, yeah the increased speed is great but still way out of my price range.
    Don't some laptops have problems with RAID with these drives?

    i don't know all i know is that 250gb of ssd is plenty for anyone, in a year, they'll be much cheaper (2$/gb probably) and they'll have everyone wanting one. personally, i'm waiting till someone reviews them be4 i buy it. im gonna replace it in my new notebook as listed in my sig, or the mbp i am bidding on on ebay. i think its a good investment, granted they run better than the first core series.
