Hot? Monster Digital DAYTONA 240GB $155

[twinrider1]

No rebate and free shipping.
It's the Adorama Deal of the Day.
Monster......not sure who's OEM'ing it for them.
Wanted to put this up in case it really was hot. But I don't know enough about the current tech to know for certain, so do your research. Price seems solid if it is a good drive. I couldn't find anything on Monster SSDs.

Tech PowerUp had a blurb about them in September but still no word on who actually makes the drive.

Sorry I have to. I know it's thread crapping and isn't the case at all.

Does this require a special $99 cable to make it work faster?
