    Possibly. They should be changing SKUs in the (near) future to actually reflect what's inside, although apparently they're keeping the original SKU and turning that into a "whatever we found at the cheapest price at the time" thing. This is an original SKU, though, so it's probably under the "grab bag" category.

    The 25nm ssd arent all that bad either compared to the 34 nm ones. You do lose a little bit of space and some performance. The performance is the same if not better than their 34nm counterpart in just about everything except iops, where they take a small hit. Still, the ssd isnt "bad" by any means, and ocz might still be exchanging the 25nm for the older 34nm models for those who want it:

    This isn't a bad deal as along as the buyer knows exactly what she is getting.
