SUPER TALENT masterdrive sx

Anyone have the SUPER TALENT masterdrive sx SAM28GM25S?
Just wanting to know why newegg canned them and is the performance and reliability still there?

what other drive in 128gb have caching controllers?

Newegg didn't necessarily can them, they'll put the de-activated status on any product when they're not sure when it'll be in stock. Not to mention that newegg isn't the only place that would sell them.

That's the good news.

Product support for the Masterdrive SX looks to be pretty lackluster, with owners complaining about no firmware updates: http://www.supertalent.com/home/forum/viewforum.php?f=39

Too bad, i had seriously considered picking up the 64gb version on ebay, which would have costed around $150 with cashback. But no firmware updates, nor mention of it, is a red flag in my book. Maybe the product is still early in it's life cycle, who knows. I'll keep an eye on it, but i wouldn't hold my breath.

As for your last question, not really sure but the masterdrive SX is some samsung rebrand, maybe consider that in your search?
