Not bad at all. When Anandtech tested this drive, it was twice as expensive at $200. It offers performance in the Crucial MX300/BX300 range, so it will be slower than the current gen drives (not a huge difference for most home users though). However, the current gen drives are priced $20 - $40 more in the same capacity.

Thanks, I've been looking for this kind of deal for a couple of weeks. HP warranty is three years, for those wondering.

I just tested it against my Crucial CT250BX100 with CrystalDiskMark, using the sequential test:

BX100 250gb (62% full): Read - 545 Write - 375

S700 500gb (20% full): Read - 559 Write - 515
