    Wow, Kingston is really dropping the prices. The 96GB is now regularly $129. Good, hopefully will start pushing other manufacturers to start dropping their prices.

    Just keep an eye out. They tend to get stock back in quickly even though it says 12/30/2011. :p

    Poor quality, slooww, drive is unimaginable made of metal...talking about reducing heat and weight; as heavy as an anchor. Look at the quality drive, like samsung 470, and you will be so shocked how that drive could exist. pay a little more and you will be glad you did.

    Erm, I own one of these 96GB drives and for $100 you can't beat it. It's not that heavy, maybe a couple oz more. The Samsung 470 is a good drive but $110 for 64GB or $210 for 128GB. If you need more than 64GB this Kingston is an awesome budget drive. Works great in my netbook, and the extra 30GB+ is welcome.
