Seems like reviews at Anandtech and Hot Hardware say the same thing. The drives perform OK, not the best of the SSD drives, but mostly it's the price (they were going off of the MSRP published prices, actual prices at places like Newegg are lower $800 real versus $1000 MSRP for the 256GB version).

These prices are still higher than the competition (Intel), so it's hard to see how these are going to be very popular with consumers.

Processor:	Q6600
Motherboard:	ABit P35 Pro
Memory:	4GB Crucial Ballistix
Video Card:	8600 GT
CRT/LCD Model:	HP 2207
Case:	Antec 900
PSU:	Enermax 750W
Software:	Vista 64 bit Ultimate
