Intel were the market leaders for a short time period. Don't know why they took so long to follow up their drives.

I'm going to lurk a little longer and observe SSD developments before I jump in. I'm also hoping standard HDs are going to come down in price after the terrible flooding in Thailand.

Isn't a lot of difference between this and the OCZ drive due to them being based on the same Sandforce controller but still a nice drive
