from Anandtech article
520 has 5000 Program Erase Cycle - so 5 year warranty - it could be either 34nm or 25nm NAND
330 has 3000 Program Erase Cycle so 3 year warranty - it has 25nm NAND.

$134.99 at Newegg Business is hard to beat, nice find. The return policy is "Limited Replacement Only Return Policy" not "Iron Egg" which may mean another price cut to come.
