I'm currently doing my first computer build and found this drive on sale
last night at ncix.com. I had looked at SSD prices a couple days ago but I
thought they were too expensive even with MIR. Last night I was searching
for some case fans and decided to check out this site for the drive. I was
surprised to see it on sale for $164.99 with no rebates. That's by far the
cheapest price around for this drive. The cheapest I could find elsewhere
for it was $194.99 after a $45 MIR on Newegg and Amazon. NICX has it for $30
cheaper and no MIR and free shipping.

People have had both good and bad experiences with this drive with the
majority being positive and it has far less issues than the OCZ ssd's. If
you're in the market for a good ssd and don't want to wait for Black Friday
then this could be a good option for you.
On a final note, this is the stand alone drive version. It doesn't have the
upgrade kit.
