Here is announcment of some cheaper models too.
Fudzilla - Super Talent's new SSDs to come next week
I doubt they will be anywhere near as quick as the Intel drives but im sure they would be better than whatever mechanical disks in laptops can offer.

Interesting review. What I would have liked to have seen is how they perform in a laptop/notebook and if they get rid of the horrible bottleneck that so many laptops have because of the drive.

Crazy results with the game load test and the old maxtor. But broadly matches other info ive seen on these.

The same info I'm waiting for. At their present price point a mid to high end laptop is the only use where these drives make sense. For the desktop there are better solutions for the price.
