This is a great deal if you are considering getting an ssd...

The info on newegg says it has a lifetime warranty, which didn't sound right. Turns out it's only 3 years.
This would be a better value, and also you won't have to bank on the rebates.

Twice the price...
JMicron Controller......
Half the performance......

Thanks though.

Food for thought...

Kingston has released their SSDNow V-Series Solid State Drive, specifically targeting the entry-level consumer that may be looking to jump on the SSD bandwagon. But this drive comes with the infamous JMicron controller, notorious for stuttering problems. However, Kingston is confident they've eliminated the problem. Have they?

If I was going to recommend a $150 ssd, theres nothing that touches the Intel X-25 which is the No 1 ssd.

decent deal; but i really dont need another ssd right now (have one in each of my 4 systems)

I'll wait until more with the new sandforce controller come to market. that should even better performance, and drop prices even more

plus its not free shipping

That's a Gen 1. At least read the right reviews. And it didn't stutter btw.

Gen2 is a Toshiba controller with onboard memory, no stuttering, + trim support.

This is if you want a larger size drive. Intel's are way better.

Here is a video of a boot into Windows 7 with a SSD.

Ooo... I am so angry. I just bought the Vertex from NewEgg a couple of weeks ago for over $100 after MiR. Anyone know if they have price protection?

the toshiba is branded as such only to NOT scare away potential purchases; it is in fact, a jmicron controller.

Sold out btw

Sold out btw

dunno why, its not hot, was 75 dollars at NCIX last week.

There are no such thing as sales.... this is discounted cus it attracts a very small audience. Mainly desktop users who want to just put there OS on it. And people in the know realize that these drives are now soon to be outdated when the newer drives come out with the faster speeds and better controllers.

Hence my remark for "no such thing as a sale" This is a clearance price AFAIAConcerned
