    Too bad the 128gb aren't on sale. Looks like the 64gb drop a good portion of performance when compared to the 128gb and 256gb models. Still an awesome deal and VERY tempting for someone like me who has never owned an SSD.

    It has slower write speeds, but with only 64 GB of capacity, you're not going to use this drive for much more than booting. With read speeds, it's more than competitive.
