    great to see samsung prices going down. unfortunately the 512gb versions are still way too expensive. at least $550.it doesn't make sense.
    crucial m4 for example is $200 for 256gb and $400 for 512gb. THAT makes sense,.

    I got a Crucial M4, but for my laptop I bought the Intel 320 before Christmas. I think after rebate it was about $180 for 120GB. Now I see those same drives half that price. :eek:

    I ordered one from B&H yesterday, but I cancelled the order when I realized the drive is not actually in stock.

    Edit: Just ordered one from Amazon with the Prime trial.

    Guaranteed delivery by Saturday. :D
