Wow, visually I'm impressed. I wanted a Sandforce SATA 3 SSD for my Sandy-Bridge E build this winter, and this looks to fit the bill.
 
The "no moving parts" bit is what makes it so impossible to make an interesting video about it...
 
Just wanted to say that I have the 120G version, and I'm getting the same BSOD behavior that a lot of others in other brands are getting with this particular iteration of Sandforce. Been very interesting experience thus far troubleshooting.
