Wow, it took a very long time for a HDD manufacturer like WD to make an SSD!

As for the "new" WD Blue... it uses TLC NAND (yuck) just like the Sandisk X400 it's based on and it's a sub-par performer in the price class. Not really worth bothering with..

Ebuyer have them up for pre-order, was wondering if they would be cheaper than RRP but not much so far: http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Storage/...estern+Digital
