So tempting.
you are better off going with samsung or crucial. there are some compatibility issues with intel ssd with amd mobo. not sure about intel mobo.
I did searches for "Intel 330 Series AMD compatibility issues" and I am not finding any information that links the two. Lots of hearsay but nothing concrete. The review on AnandTech lists the compromises that Intel took in order to give the lower price. Seems like a good deal if it fits your style of computer use. Just saying.
try out it. report back about 330. there are info on 320 and 520. maybe there is no bs 15% restocking like newegg with B&H.
Have an 180GB in my MBP, and love it. Before I installed the SSD in my laptop, I did try it out a smidge in an i7-octo PC, it took a lot of fussing with different SATA ports and BIOS updates before it would work.
How did B&H ever get such a deal before anybody else even has the big drive listed? Why did I have to miss this, and only hours after ordering a 128G? Grr!
