Pompeii, Sodom, and Gomorrah had the same priorities. Better luck next time I guess.

I am sorry you can't afford to live in California. Better luck on your next life!

Quote from wenlez : I can't imagine how fast and cheap these SSD's get in just a few year!!!

In a few years time, you can pick these up for free at the CL curb side alert.

Quote from kaabob : Amazon really needs a deal these days so (a) no tax, (b) staples PM! Common amazon! Either that or deals need to stay alive long enough for a Amazon PM =P

Seriously...every deal I see for an SSD involves CA tax.

I got a Samsung 830 128 gb for $109 three weeks ago from buydig.com. No CA tax.

I'm sorry that so many of those paying the bills have decided they can't afford to live in California either, if it means carrying the weight of the endless Entitlement dependency constituents.

Whichever group you're end, do you really expect a positive end game? If you're one of the Makers, no amount of your paycheck will ever be enough to support the Leviathan, so every year it will get worse (unless your employer gives up first).

If you're one of the Takers, the complete unwillingness for politicians to show the slightest restraint means your gravy train will likely end very painfully when there's literally nothing left.

How long does it typically take for Amazon to price match something if they do at all? I have some of those damned Visa rebate cards which I need to convert to gift cards so I can use more than one of them on a single purchase.. so I need to know which company to buy the gift cards from.

Are you just trying to get rid of your Visa rebate cards?
If you travel by car a lot (I do quite frequently), you can walk to the service personnel at the window and tell them to charge and exact amount.
This way you can use up your gift cards to the penny =).
I usually get $25 gift cards, so I do my daily driving and when it looks like I need about $25 worth of gas, I fill up! (I don't wanna hassle them by telling them to charge it down to the cent if I don't need to)

Most grocery stores can bill an exact amount to those cards.

will it be worth it going raid on this? i already have a 128gb m4 but raid on this might be sweet?

will the price on amazon/staples go down as well?

Quote from darkxradiance : will the price on amazon/staples go down as well?

No one knows, but judging from the recent price trend, it appears to me that the 128MB drives are all heading to below $100, all big SSD manufacturers have inventories of 256GB and larger drives they need to unload, they can only hold the price of 128MB drives above $100 for so long, without hurting themselves in the sells of larger drives, which will soon become the norm, and it is with such opinion that I will pass on the 128GB drives and wait for the 256GB drives to dip to low $100 and possibly below $100 before the year end.

Quote from JayFx2 : How are these compare to the vertex 3 in speed performance. The Crucial one shows 500mb read, and 175 write while the vertex 3 shows 550mb read and 500 write. Is there any reason to purchased this? I ask this because I have the vertex 3 90GB and want a little more space but also faster speed is this is indeed faster then the vertex 3.

I'm wondering the same, if anyone knowledgable would like to answer this.

MB --> GB
BM --> GB

Billions, not millions.
