    Considering the 120gb version is about $350 street price now and as low as $307 after rebate the smart thing to do is save up and get the larger capacity version.

    $99 for 30 gb = $3.33 per GB

    at full $350 price for the 120gb your at $2.91 per GB with a faster native speed, only need one drive in the computer & cable/housing adapter, and you dont have to worry about a cruddy raid controller slowing it down.

    Just my opinion.

    Of course no matter what your paying a lot for a SSD now, and if 30gb is all you need/want then this is a decent oportunity.

    $350? where? I've seen $370 and $377 as the lowest so far.

    I saw your post but it flew right over my head. I'm looking around for the lowest cost w/out rebate and the ecost price of $355 is the lowest one I've seen. Maybe the others who still have them in stock will match it.
