FYI Amazon (not a marketplace vendor) is now selling the 64GB, 256GB, and 512MB m4. $117, $453 and $907 respectively. Free shipping and no tax.
My 256GB will be delivered tomorrow.
Yep those were the prices when I posted the links.
256GB is now listed for $519 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148443. WTF. That's $20 more than from Crucial.com. I really don't want to spend $50 on tax, when is Amazon going to have this thing for sale?!
The 64GB m4 just showed up on Newegg for $118 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148441&nm_mc=OTC-RSS&cm_mmc=OTC-RSS-_-SSD-_-Crucial%20Technology-_-N82E16820148441
Edit: 128GB is up for $228 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148442
I was hoping to buy it from Amazon for a few bucks under MSRP. Not to mention I don't have to pay for tax or 2-day air shipping when buying through them.
The Crucial forum and Engadget have the official date for retail distribution as tomorrow (today?) April 26th. I sold my only SSD when I upgraded to a Sandy Bridge laptop and I've been dying to replace this spindle disk. This notebook supports SATA 3 so it should be a worthwhile upgrade...

Still seems to be simulated but it's better than nothing.
