Totally agree with you. Still waiting for the 830 256gb to come down. Maybe BF.

It's Sandforce's controller but Intel spent a year developing custom firmware to cure any issues... I think the Samsung is a great drive but if reliability is your main concern then Intel is a slam...

It's not just ANY SandForce drive, but an Intel one. Big difference! Don't be turned off by the other manufacturer failures who use the same controller. The 520 still has the highest warranty.

if anyone okay with $1/GB you are better off with Either Samsung 830 256GB or Plextor M3 256 GB.
Plextor offers 5 year warranty with Toggle NAND/Latest Marvell controller.
Any sandforce drive...

Good price for this drive! I hear the Samsung 830 is cheaper, more reliable, and faster though. With this however, you do get a 5-year warranty. Can't go wrong with either though!

You are correct, SATA3 is backwards compatible to SATA2. 2=3Gb/s and 3=6Gb/s but it's not like you're hitting those speeds anyway.
