    Saw that this morning. An insane deal for one of the BEST drives on the market. If you want a 128GB SSD, don't think, just click "buy".

    I like that we are seeing deals at that $1/GB mark a lot these days. Heck, even 256GB drives are normally selling around the $300 mark now (and lower with sales), they were well over $400 a year ago!

    You can get the 256 GB one for just about $300 from the Egg as well. They marked down the Samsung 830 series, got a price match from a local brick and mortar...picked up the 256GB 830 for $309. They had a bare 830 and a bare M4 256GB for $299. Looks like things are getting competitive...

    Enjoy...and I agree...press "Buy" with no regrets now

    It's getting there. Once it's $1/gb across the board I'll be in the market for one.
