Trying to figure out if this is an OK deal or a good deal (I'm currently in the market for an msata drive)
Crucial m500 msata of similar speed is similarly priced for the 480gb (or cheaper for the 240) and can be picked up locally [Note the capacity is actually the same I believe: Crucial use GB = 1024MB, MB = 1024KB, etc.]

So looks like reasonable pricing but I'm not sure it's a bargain.
For the 256 I'm wondering if I'm better off getting the faster Plextor m5m locally (only $17 more, $8 after shipping this Samsung). That's probably better for me.
