I received my rebate for a Vertex 2 a while ago, the thing I don't like though is the 'rebate card'. I'd like to still get checks.
The drive is plenty big enough for a Windows 7 install, my 120G SSD currently has 27G used on it with W7 home premium. Looks like a not too shabby deal for an intro to SSDs.
