Under $1 per GB. Price point satisfied?

If you don't have one, buy one.

Don't you mean no more excuses not to buy one

And didn't one of yours just fail recently?

Keep in mind that it is a refurbished drive. I'm not sure how big of an issue that will be with SSDs, but most people don't like to buy refurbished products.

Also, this is a Sandforce based drive, which I'm pretty sure always have a higher failure rate than SSDs based on other controllers. Especially on these first generation Sandforce drives.

And since it is a refurbished drive it only has a 30 day warranty.

It's also only $120 for 120GB or super fast goodness. I'm thinking of grabbing one to swap into my PS3.

Been priced at this for a while on other NCIX parented sites (directcanada/bestdirect). Picked one up myself a while ago. Perfect drive for testing out setups.

I fixed the title and destroyed Peter's diploma

things fail, I've lost an SSD and a HDD in the past year, doesn't mean SSDs aren't far superior. There are things like warranties to dull the pain
