    I do wish they would make a true replacement for the 320 with the micro-capacitor feature.

    Good price. SSD prices have been dropping like crazy lately.

    Not complaining, though I do wish they'd drop prices on the 512gb models.

    I just purchased one. Only $15 more than a 128GB M4. This would make an excellent fathers day gift. :D

    That sucks but I wouldn't let it drag you down too much. The prices are dropping so much, I'm sure there will be similarly good sales soon.

    I installed mine today! It's pretty fast, 20 second boot time, everything is just really snappy.

    My rebate Visa arrived a few days ago. I added it to a PayPal account, and then transferred the balance to another account. Cash! :D
