This is about the best deal I've seen out there for this size SSD. $120 GB for $117 (after $20 rebate, with free shipping). This drive does 6Gbps- ie its one of the high end SSDs out there that will make your HTPC or Laptop blazing fast. There were apparently some initial issues with BSODs associated with the sandforce drivers, but those have apparently been resolved with the most recent firmware.

I'd buy it myself... but I've decided I have no use for it at the current time... no plans to build a new HTPC in the near future, and i'm not in the mood to reformat my old one.

Hmm, personally I had a bad wrap with the Solid3 60GB. YMMV.
It just didn't like the chipset I was installing to on my wifes laptop, no matter what bios revision, tweak, twonk, twiddle support told me to try.

I ended up going with a Crucial M4 and it's been 100% working and MUCH quicker.

Now, getting the Solid returned to my supplier or OCZ for a refund.....that's another story for another day....still fighting that one.
