Nice! I'll have to let my coworker know, he was about to go with a 60GB but that is way too small for modern Windows OS's

I ordered this last night at 9pm from Amazon. I just got it today 2pm. 17 hours from order to receiving. Bye Bye Newegg.

Thank you. I had just ordered from Newegg but was able to cancel it and get it from Amazon. Free 2 day shipping

I've had one of these for about a year in my wife's $200 Lenovo laptop. So far so good.

Newegg also has the 240gig version for $129.99+.99 shipping.

EDIT:Looks like Amazon lowered the price on the 240 to match Neweggs price of $129.99

Odd. Yesterday I started to post about the same deal as in the OP, but noticed that it was marked "Out of Stock", so I didn't. (It's not OOS ATM.)

Firmware issues with this drive, read comments on newegg/amazon.

I saw that too over on the SD forum. It seems that it has more to do with were the drive is made rather than the fw it ships with. Some people are claiming the Chinese made drives are not as good as the Taiwanese drives.

I pulled the trigger on the 240gig model. The price and size was right for my application. I have a SATA 1.5 laptop using an ancient 80gig 5400rmp drive and this was to good to pass up.
Now I need to decide if I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or wait for the 14.04 LTS release later this year. I hear that 14.04 will have built in trim support so I will probably wait.

Yeah, Thanks for the information.
Also Glad to hear Ubuntu 14.04 is comming

Mine was delivered yesterday (ordered from Amazon) and it is a 5.06 mfg in Taiwan. So far so good. I didn't run any tests on it because it's just a replacement for the 5400rpm drive that was in my laptop. It's fast enough for my needs.

You should throw up some numbers. It would be interesting to see if it really is a fw issue or a manufacturing issue.

for what it is worth the one i purchased from newegg is made in twn and 506.
