CompUSA/Tiger Direct now has

CompUSA/Tiger Direct now has these for $109 after rebate if someone wanted one and missed the earlier sales.  It seems everyone is getting rid of their stock on these older SSDs.

Keep in mind this is a first gen SSD with the Indilinx barefoot controller (apparently tweaked a bit from the original Vertex drives.)   It will certainly be faster than a spindle drive but not quite as fast as the newer drives with Sandforce controllers.   That said, I’m running an original Vertex drive in my laptop right now and it works great.
