Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
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.
