Was hunting for an alternative to the shopping express Samsung 830 deal. I dont have a sata 3 mobo so cant really utilise it and need something more reliable than the Toshiba 512 ssd for $279 from here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/80775#comment-1041752
I couldnt find any decent reviews for that drive and simply being used by apple means jack all to me cause apple products fail all the time
Anyway just checked Gamedude's page and i think they dropped the price of their Liteon by another $10 to $159 + shipping
Shipping was $12 to syd for me, you can also pickup
This is cheaper than Mwave's plextor m5s at about $174.99 + delivery or scorptec's supposedly msata version which is $169+delivery

This is the 256m3s so i assume its the proper one and not the mSata drive version? how does it perform against the Plextor m5s?
