Yeah................kinda want one.

Not at that price though. I'd rather get a top 'O the line 128GB SSD.

Now......bring that price down to 149.00 and I'm all over that!!

I have 15pcs of HDD - 3pcs of WD & the rest Hitachi. Within the past 6 months, 5pcs of Hitachi failed & became unreadable with strange clicking sound coming from the HDD - 1TB X 1, 2TB X 4. I will not buy another Hitachi again. Now I use 2pcs of 64Gb SSD for the OS & the balance HDD for storage only
