    Heh, yeah, almost 1gb/1usd. However, I now only favor Intel SSD for the moment and use Intel SSD only.

    But, that price IS very tempting.

    3 years ago, getting my hand on 64gb SSD was like a big goal to go after. Now, we have 256gb SSD in a rather close reach.

    I paid $330 for a used 240GB a year and some months ago. Oh well, that's just how it goes.

    You'd have to pay me to buy another SSD with a Sandforce controller.

    Stay away from sandforce controllers as stated above. Unless you like to see your SSDs fail on you.
