That sounds like a REALLY good deal. OWC is has a sale and they are selling their 120GB SSDs (same Sandforce controller as Vertex 2) for $299.

Just bought one! I have a three-drive raid0 and noticed Sunday that one of drives was failing (SMART status). I hope the ssd will be as fast but I'm not counting on it. What do you think?
