Not a bad deal Larry, but I think i'd rather have the Crucial MX100 512GB drive at Amazon for $212.99 personally.

Here's the Mushkin 480GB:

Performance
Max Sequential Read
Up to 540 MBps
Max Sequential Write
Up to 460 MBps
4KB Random Read
Up to 78,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write
Up to 37,000 IOPS
Seek Time
<0.1ms
MTBF
2,000,000 hours

Here's the Crucial 512GB:

Performance
Max Sequential Read
Up to 550 MBps
Max Sequential Write
Up to 500 MBps
4KB Random Read
Up to 90,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write
Up to 85,000 IOPS
MTTF
MTTF: 1.5M Hours

IOPS and Read/Write speeds are better on the Crucial. I'd rather have the Marvell controller and Micron memory over Mushkin's older Sandforce controller.

Crucial drive is also 32GB more space for only $3 more.

I have a feeling all these sand force 2281 drives are going to be liquidated soon. The MX100 came and just smacked everyone in the face. Only Crucial/Micron, Samsung, Toshiba/OCZ, Sandisk and Intel will survive in the end. Kingston, Adata, Corsair, Mushkin, PNY, etc, will all disappear. They won't survive building drives with other peoples controllers and other peoples NAND, financially.

I agree!
