    There's a deal at fry's for a PNY XLR8 120GB for $99.99-$10 MIR.
    If anyone happens to know if a firmware change that will speed the drive up letme know. So far PNY has nothing.

    Sandforce 2281 (written on the box, on the website however it's listed as 2241)

    Yeah don't get it. The performance is rather poor even by 3-4 year old standards, even if it's SF based it's performance is ridiculed.

    There's better options near the $100 level. For example an OCZ Vertex 4 128GB, offers better Random/Seq as well
