    On Newegg. Model is SanDisk Ultra SDSSDH-240G-G25 2.5. Google-fu tells me it's a SandForce 1222 controller if that means anything to anyone. $0.87/GB is nothing to sneeze at, though.

    Deal link.

    I don't know if the Sandisk drives are any good, but it's nice to see more and more deals that are at $1/gb or less.

    There's lots of generic drives around with this controller, The MicroCenter 64GB version uses this controller too. I might grab one for that price.

    It got good reviews on Newegg's site. I still can't pull the plug on one. I'm still happy with spindle drives especially the cost. :)
