Gotta hope for some clearance pricing on Intel G2 drives.
 
It is pricey likely due to the use of scarce 34nm NAND. But this should also come down in the near future in anticipation of lower demand. Anyway, I do feel that it is pretty much in line with 240/250GB competitor prices out there assuming that they are still using 34nm NAND.

Where are you hearing that 34nm NAND is scarce? If it was scarce, then every 34nm NAND device would be going up in price, but it's the opposite. There are some pretty killer deals on a lot of 34nm drives.

It's pricey because it's new...

Disappointed by the pricing myself.

disappointed in the drives themselves.

They were suposed to be the new fast super upgrades to SSDs with larger capacities might i boot.
WTF are these G3's? They look terrible capacity wise.

Yet there showing me my C300 was a good purchase because they have problems slaughtering it in all benchmarks like how the C300 did a while back ago when they first came out.

I agree, I was expecting much improved speeds and double the capacity at the same price as has been rumored for months. This wasn't even close so I instead bought a Samsung 470 and will consider a generation 3 SSD when I build a new computer in the next 1-2 years.
