    The Intel 510 Series 250GB SSD is easily above the M4 256GB that I have.

    And it is in your +- price range too. :)

    However, as you're talking almost 7 months away....

    The best buy will be sometime in June 2012. ;)

    Like the previous poster have said,you should wait before making the final decision.SSD tech is moving fast and prices are fluctuating quite a bit, making it hard to predict what's going to be the best buy at that moment.

    Even if he bought it right now and ran it 24/7 with no rest he could still be fine until August 9, 2012. ;)

    Besides, the fix is already in the works and scheduled to be released next week.
