Man I swear by the end of the year there will be like at least 20 different SSD makes to choose from. It's crazy...and most of them are just rebranded.

OK, so I wonder whose controller they're using. Too cheap to be an Indilinx...

I hope they didn't do another jmicron. It might be seeing at the price + no mention of any cache size.

Checking Newegg, they look to be right on par with the other Indilinx controller prices.
