Only available as 120GB?

I doubt Anandtech will bother, frankly. Although it's the sort of thing a few posters around here will probably dig, it's not really an enthusiast product. (Only available in 10-packs - it's for system integrators, refurbishers, and OEMs.)

I'd love to start seeing them in Netbooks though.

I like the direction this is going.

Next up, I would hope Samsung could field a SSD with a robust DRAM-less SSD controller.

Click on "Where to buy?" - you get "No available retailer".

Still, doesn't seem horrible, although the random read/write IOPS seem kind of low, like they are arbitrarily limiting them in the firmware, so they they don't encroach on 850 EVO territory, even though the two drives appear to share the same 3D V-NAND TLC memory technology.
