Why are those prices so high? They can't be much faster than current offerings, given the limitations of SATA 600. And why don't they list those performance specs? Hope these are better than their hard drives...

I don't think those prices are correct (at least not in Asia), if these are the same drives as their THNSNH series that's been selling for a while now (rebrand), then these should be offering very high performance for a very low price. well, in theory at least. but who knows, prices in north America never made much sense.

chinese prices:
128GB - $93
256GB - $179
512GB - $425

MSRP pricing is just a spoof. Street prices will be whatever it takes to be competitive. Supply and demand determines street price. This PR looks more like just hype than anything special about these SSDs.
