    I about to pull the trigger on a 256GB Crucial C300 SSD.

    Just wanted to confirm before I ordered, NP8150 is SATA III with full support of 6GBps right?

    Newegg has a promotion on the 256GB Crucial C300 for $442.50 with shipping. (For those interested promo code EMCKFJE23 10% off SSDs ends tomorrow.)

    Is that a good deal? Should I pull the trigger or wait till the C400 comes out and hope the price drops on the C300? I am really not sure what to do.

    I could also get one for $420ish off ebay, but there is always some risk with ebay.

    Thank you for your help.

    Also, what is the difference between the two? I can't find one:

    That laptop does indeed support SATA 6Gps. As for waiting, I couldn't inform you there. Lastly, I cannot find a difference between the two, at all.
