[Throc]

Just noticed the price drop from their normal $599. Maybe it's a sign that prices are falling.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooo (not at OP) these drives retailed at a MSRP of $440, 7 months ago. 7 months ago and we are still seeing a 13% price premium over MSRP.

How do these compare in random write performance to the ocz drives? There's so damn many models I don't know where to turn!

Much better. Intel drives only lose at sequential operations, but they are the king for random read/writes.

*Looks at sig* Yes they did

Actually it was ~$408 after cashback; I'd wait for another deal like that if you're on the fence on this one.
