I talked to my rep about availability and he said "5-7 days before shipping.

This should be an x25-e rebranded as kingston.

For Comparison:
Newegg ($380)
Mwave $430

Is this SSD better then the ones intel just brought out? The price seems steep compared to those especially, since it is only 32GB.

Better in what?

Longetivity? Yes.
Sequential Write speeds? Yes.
Random IOPS? Maybe...possibly not.
less degredation over time? Maybe...possibly not.

64GB x25-e vs x25-m g2

Great for businesses which will put more stress on their drives.

Not great for consumers since the second gen intels get similar speeds and is much cheaper on a price per gb

$260 for a 32gb drive sounds like a hot deal

Why do you think I posted it ? It's about 33% off of everywhere else.

Install OS, load 2 pron clips, reflect why larger capacity wasn't purchased for the 3rd clip.

No no silly, you install windows. Install games to storage HD, then copy / paste over whatever your favorite game at the time is to enjoy speedy loading.

Pron doesn't need speedy transfers. It would be happy playing from a 10Mbs flash drive

Sounds like a lot of trouble though doesn't it" I would go through the trouble if the drive was 50 or 60 bucks and I'm sure a lot of others would to. At those kind of prices though, who wants to compromise?
