The price and timing are perfect for me for my first sdd. Speed and quality should be good enough for me with the reviews I've read. It will be a big upgrade in speed over my current hard drive.

Everyone send a request to Amazon for price match. Just sent mine in! If enough people fill out the request then it'll most likely get matched.

I don't think u need anything extra. Your xps should have 2 or 3 extra cables in there. You can Velcro the SSD to the slot or let it hang there since there's no moving parts.

The 500gb version is going for 319 with coupon. An extra 90MB/sec write speed. Worth it for the increased write speed, IMO.

Wrong, you can use more than 2 drives in a raid 0 array. You'd want drives with good trim support for raid 0.
Also, 1.5Gb/8 = 187.5

They're rated at a start IOPS once you put stuff on it it drops way down. And obviously no one will keep an empty ssd. The best ones are the Samsung 830, 840 Pro and Intel series
