I have the 80gb and use it for my OS.

Might pick up the 120gb's for upgrades for my other laptops.

warranty is one thing... 520 has a 5 year vs the 330 which has 3 year warranty.

The way the prices are dropping on SSD in general, we could see a 120 GB for $50 on BF. Oh yeah, it's time to start thinking about BF!

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!

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...

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.

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.
