It didn't do too hot in some of those tests, though my Agility 3 performs noticeably better then my Vertex 2 (SATA2 vs SATA3 maybe??) so if this is faster then that then I'm sold (and the extra 16GB doesn't hurt either).
Heck I already saw one of these go for $130 after MIR sickenly good deal

Awesome drive in terms of cost. I wonder what the price of SSDs will be after 2 more years.

Silly early adoptersWell 3 years ago my 128 GB drive cost $320...and it was a great deal at the time!
My first SSD, the Vertex 2, cost me $125 (120GB) probably a year or so after its release. Also I have nice mature firmware, late adopters ftw

A G.Skill Falcon 128. Basically a Vertex in everything but the label. I have the newest firmware from Supertalent on there now (2142).
These new drives are faster and cost basically pennies compared to it. If I ever go back to a pure SSD setup the Agility 4 is at the top of the list for now.

Wow your drive sounds like frankenstein lol, "Gskill" with shared components of an "OCZ" and a firmware designed by "Supertalent".A G.Skill Falcon 128. Basically a Vertex in everything but the label. I have the newest firmware from Supertalent on there now (2142).
These new drives are faster and cost basically pennies compared to it.
Wow, I'd hope not at that price. The drive better lay golden eggs for that lolMy 160GB was $500-550 or so when I got it. Don't regret it at all.
