Dropped the torqx into a laptop with a Sempron, and it scored 7.0 on the WEI. Not that it's a gauge of truth, like you said, but it's telling.

It's almost like they take it off line, do a physical count to see how many they've really got left in stock, then make the deal hot again.
Don't really know, just glad you got one.

Yeah. Going from an HD to an SSD is a huge upgrade in terms of speed.
The other thing this might be good for is using as a cache if you have a Z68 motherboard.
