    Whee! Now if they can start to follow suit with other SSD's we're finally reaching <$1/GB. Would be nice to get similar price ratio for 256GB. In due time I guess. :) As always, thanks Cin'!

    Don't forget, this drive is based on older technology. Retailers must be itching to clear stock to make way for G3 Intel, Sandforce 1500, etc. I would so get another one of these to use in my M11x if I weren't concerned about maximizing battery life.
