sold out :(
Back in stock!! In for 2.
Still $129.99 today, can't beat the price for this drive.
The linked review is for the Deluxe version. This product is the non-Deluxe version which uses slower asynchronous NAND vs the Deluxe's synchronous NAND. Performance of this drive will be more in the class of OCZ Agility 3 than Vertex 3. Still a good drive, but not really separated from the other drives in its class in terms of price.
