How much would you pay for a 160 gig?
Without knowing more information than just the size of the drive, probably 1$/gb so 160$. That would heavily depend on how long it has been used, which sata it is, what nand it houses, and the controller.
Drive in sig is amazing. Not a single problem, ludicriously fast. Comes with the legendary Kingston support/warranty. Not much more I could ask for here.
Very nice drive, but I'm afraid its price per gb ratio is too high for my likeing.
I may be looking at this incorrectly, but that drive is 150$? After the 15% coupon 130$. Even rebate only drops it to 100$. How did you come out with 90$?
Beyond that, the OCZ agility 3 has asynchronous (read: the slowest) nand, so it is out of the question.
Now, the OCZ vertex 3 also has that 15% off deal though, and synchronus nand with a sandforce 2281 controller.

For those keeping score at home, if I don't receive any more offers I'm torn between
Sandisk Extreme - sandforce 2281 - toggle nand - speed - 140$
Crucial M4 - Marvel 9174 - ONFi 2 nand - reliability - 144$
OCZ vertex 3 - sandforce 2281 - synch nand - speed - 136$
Tough choices.
