Newegg (maybe others, I don't know) has been shipping Corsair S128 SSDs when P128s were ordered. It happened to me twice. I purchased a P128 about two weeks ago and got a P128. It's great, like everyone says. So I ordered another one last week. I got an S128 instead. RMA'd it, ordered another P128 and got another S128 instead.
It's been happening to others too. A couple Newegg reviews mention it:

...although they seem to have stopped posting reviews that mention this (like mine).
Also there is a thread on this on the Corsair site:

The Memory Guy says they are "just mislabeled." Right. Why would they try to sell them with a huge S128 label on them as "really" P128s, but never issue any official statement about the problem? What happens if they do loose write speed as the S128s did, but the P128s mostly had fixed? Will a they replace with a P128? I'm guessing not.
Does anyone know anything about this? I'm a big fan of Corsair products - I have their memory and power supplies in all 3 of our computers, and I use their GT USB drives. But this strikes me as, well, slimy.
