Apple bto ssd vs vetex 3

If you are referring to the OCZ switch from 34nm NAND to 25nm NAND while keeping the same product name, OWC has done the same thing. The OWC slime about off spec RAM was debunked by Anandtech. Personally, I am not a fan of either OCZ or OWC because of the way they handled the NAND spec change.

It is $200 more, not just $100... and for what we seem to agree is little or no difference in normal usage.

You pay $200 for the 128gb Apple SSD. Stick with default and cop a SATA III for $300.

What bugs me is that the RAW cost of 25nm NAND flash is far less than 34nm flash- i appreciate that the new SF2000 controllers will demand a premium but surely these drives are way over the cost they should be!

I'm waiting till lion drops and prices to become more reasonable

Maybe you should read your own signature and remember what stuff you bought and rethink this statement of yours.

The demand for NANDs is huge at the moment. Pretty much all electronics with some kind of an operating system use NANDs, especially smaller electronics such as smart phones, tablets etc. When the demand is great, then there is no need to (significantly) lower the prices because people will buy them for the current price.
