I need a good deal on the Intel 80GB Gen 2 SSD with the model # SSDSA2MH080G2C1
I can get it for $234 on ebay with the 8% ebay bing CB. Anywhere else I can get this drive for cheaper?

Not a bad price...
If you want an amazing deal though... wait 5 years and the price on these should be a bit lower.

Why do people leave comments like this ? No crap, in 5 years it'll be dirt cheap because it will be antiquated technology. By that point, I imagine that NAND Flash will slowly be on its way out (as magnetic HDs are currently on their way out) as new technologies such as PCRAM or MRAM become more prominent and cost effective. NAND is quickly approaching it's max efficiency. Data densities can increase by only so much more, and their write/erase/read speeds (at the single transistor level) aren't far from being capped. We'll see continued increases in speeds through advancements in controllers and new read/write algorithms, but basically, it'll just be adding more and more chips into a RAID 0 type configuration.
