yes i know they r worth it.. but intel doesnt offer international warranty which i need... only for retail packs and not on oem. retail packs for both the 80 and 160 are mad expensive.. no point buying 80gb when i get 128GB for 30/40$ more.. plus which much longer warranty extentions. i will be using this drive in india.. and intel indian rma is a nightmare.. so just want to stay away.. its a shame.. but do help me with ur suggestions.. almost all the other brands dont mind shipping back to india if i manage the shipment to them... my friend is leaving the states on dec 7th so just need to buy both ram n ssd before that...
