I'll preface this by saying that I probably wouldn't buy a Sandforce drive right now... But that's mostly because I'm too busy to bother with potential compatibility issues or a product return. Hence why I bought a Samsung 830 a couple of weeks ago, third SSD I've purchased. Also, somehow people have created this bad reliability rep for SF and OCZ when the main issue was always one of drive compatibility, not failure or reliability.
That being said, if you don't mind the potential hassle should your system configuration be one of those configs that just doesn't get along with SF drives, then this is a pretty darn good deal on a rather large drive. Yeah it has slower NAND than the Vertex line, still faster than many other other SSD tho (easily faster than any previous gen stuff).

Sale's not up yet, its the 10am (PST) ShellShocker. It's getting a $50 discount basically, not earth shattering but better than most anything I've seen on larger SSD deals... Seems like all recent deals were either on smaller drives or older gen drives (or a combination of both).
