    I don't know if that Corsair C300 is still available. But if it is, jump on it.

    $200 is a ridiculously good price. The Corsair C300 is one of the best performing drives out, for both SATA2 or SATA3 systems. The fact that it is priced in the same ballpark as SandForce SF-1200 and Intel X25-M G2 drives is just icing on the cake.

    I bought 2x of them when I could.

    Bah I wish I had gotten the C300 sort of. I got a 160GB G2 instead for the same price though. More capacity maybe less speed.

    You really wouldn't notice the difference unless you used them side by side even then with regular apps, it'd be hard to tell unless you take a stopwatch.

    Didn't decide I wanted a Nova 64 until after they sold out last weekend.
    Set an auto-notify for when they got more. Got the email today at 12:22, ordered at 12:30.
    Now they're sold out again.

    EDIT: In stock 3:15pm.

    Nova is a great budget SSD, especially for something like a netbook.
