Yep. I bought the Vertex3 for $359, which seemed like a good deal, but if I went cheaper they had the Petrol 120gb for $129, which was pretty tempting.
This is the third ssd. My first two died quick unrecoverable deaths which soured me on it. Cost+reliability weren't there. But with costs now and performance it was worth reconsidering.

One of the G2's made it to my HTPC, the other is for bench builds. Both of my work systems are on Intel G2 SSDs too--I can't imagine using a system without one. Ugh! Newegg is running a sale on Crucial M4's today for just over $1/GB on 64, 128, and 256GB versions. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony Q.
