I am very interested to hear your opinions on how hot this deal is:
Coupon code: KICKOFF
https://www.superbiiz.com/detail.ph...5-V-2-5-inch-40GB-SATA2-Solid-State-Drive-MLC
Originally I purchased the Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB drive for $74.99 with a $20 MIR, and while I think that is a great deal, I am returning it and getting this instead. After some research I think 28GB is cutting it too close for Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Office 2010 Pro, a few Adobe CS5 programs, and some 3D modeling programs. However, If my research is accurate 37GB should be just enough.
I know this drive gets horrible read benchmarks, but apparently Intel is very reliable and the real world performance as far as boot up and program load times is on par with the Sandforce drives and the Crucial C300... is this correct?
I heard of a few new series of SSD being released soon, so would it be smart to wait for further price drops?
