    Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC128B/WW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Use code: EMCNEJB27

    Best price I've seen on this SSD and much better than the $140 it was a few days ago. This is a must buy at this price. Also qualifies for ShopRunner 2 day shipping.

    You can also get a Agility 3 256gb with free 32gb OCZ Onyx SATA 2 SSD for $160 after MIR.

    Corsair Force GT 120gb SSD for $110 after MIR as well.

    I read some reputable place that in July 2012, almost every SSD will be available at $0.65/GB. This way Samsung 128GB should be for $85 or something

    Yeah, lol. That's a massive rumor that has absolutely no substance. I highly doubt, even with new versions coming out that they will all drop to $0.65/GB. Samsung 830 might drop to $200 cheapest for 256GB. But that will be short lived as all SSD's are when the next gen comes out. They sell out quickly and then price hikes back up to $1.20 or more/GB for the new gen.

    The Agility 3 with free Onyx drive is so tempting as I would put the former in my MacBook and the latter in my PS3. However, 1) Sandforce on the Agility, 2) OCZ, 3) no return for refund if either doesn't work. Three strikes, I'm out. :eek:
