Holy smokes. That's amazing. In a way I feel jilted because of just spending an extra 30 bucks a few days ago, but then again: w00t! $1/GB for a fast SSD. Might have to pick up another one.
ok got my hands on the 240 deluxe (toggle nand)... heres my benches

The Crucial M4 256gb is $200 now (Newegg, etc).
This is also sub-$1/GB. :D

Since I started this thread, SSD prices have continued to dive and dive hard.
You can now get a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 480GB SSD for $380. That's $.79/GB!!! :eek:
I am loving the fact that high performance, high capacity SSD storage is becoming extremely reasonable.
*Edit: I think my next thread will have to be "Sub $.50/GB for <newSSD here>"
im tempted to go 4x RAID-0 if prices drop further :o
In stock!
ive reverted back to a single 256gb drive (samsung 830).... ive basically come to the conclusion that for real world use even a first generation indilinx drive (ocz vertex) is more than adequete.. you will not see any day to day differences with a bleeding edge setup
Picked up a Samsung 830 when they went on sale for around 160ish before 840 (Pro) release. What a difference!
With Windows 8 there's barely any boot time. Skyrim fully modded with HD texture packs loads in about 2 seconds, and no micro-stuttering. Love it so far!
I'm eyeing an 840 Pro for my next SSD upgrade. My mushkin chronos deluxe 240GB is great in my laptop, but I think i want to try something different in my desktop. (Still currently running on my "old" X25-M G2. Still works great)
