One thing to look for is 120GB vs 128, 250GB vs 256, etc. The 120GB SSD has 128GB of storage space, but has one complete spare die of Flash, so if one dies, it can copy all the data to a spare. That's why I made a point of getting a 120GB SSD when 128GB drives are available for the same/cheaper cost.
