My order took forever to ship and arrive. I didn't get the drive until the 12th so I couldn't send in the rebate in time. :/

Must hold..back buying and wait.
Also, they seem to be 7mm from some other forum discussions, but appear thicker in the picture. I'll stick to the 830s on my waiting list until this gets verified.

Yes, it doesn't do 256-bit encryption and intel updated their specs to show that the 520 only does 128-bit. I'm curious, do you even need it?
