    It's cheap but the thing with the Kingston SSD's in this line is that they kept switching nand around, so people were buying it for a certain spec, and when they get the drive they discover it has cheaper/inferior nand in it. So the thing to look out for with drives like these is that they will and do change, because the drive models of certain series are only meant to meet a certain minimum spec (or minimum performance) so if you see people talking about performance numbers, you can't be guaranteed that the drive you get will perform that way also. I guess that's the trouble with companies that don't make their own nand and/or that produce econo-drives, as they buy bulk wafers of nand from whichever company that gives them the best deal at any time, so it's good to be aware of that with these drives. But it does show how SSD prices are going down :)
