How does this compare to the popular Samsung EVO or Sandisk Ultra II?

Don't think HardOCP reviewed it...but the consensus seems to be that it is quite close enough to the top-performers most of the time that you won't notice a difference...

SanDisk Ultra II 480GB is also on sale on Amazon for $110USD BTW:

Definitely slower than the Evo, and the endurance is 72TB instead of the 150TB the Evo is if that makes a difference.
Personally I'd spend an extra $30 and get an Evo, or $18... but then I'd have to deal with black friday at Fry's
 
I partook of the 59 dollar SanDisk 240GB Ssd deal that was floating around yesterday, got an extra 5 dollar promotional credit + 5% off.

So for $51 to my door -- I got another 240GB drive to Run raid0 with... double the capacity, and a nice speed boost too :)
 
I have had fantastic results with crucial drives. Definitely solid.
 
I so want this but swore i would hold out for cheaper 1TB drives (and not the 960, 1TB!)
