Atleast for today Amazon.com has the same price if you have prime or prefer their excellent return policy.

$179.99, which isn't quite $154.99

I would cuss out sales tax, but it would just ignore me.

hehe ... but i bought my 120gig SSD months ago, not years.

Within just last month SSD prices have dropped significantly. Most of us didn't think it would drop this fast.

$.50/Gig without MIR is just around the corner.

Actually, if you look on the far right-hand side of the Amazon page (under "More buying choices"), you will see that Amazon does, indeed, currently list the drive at $154.99. The problem is that it will ship in 2-4 weeks.

Sooo tempting... but my old school mechanical system seems to be holding up so far. Though this would make for a good way to get VISTA off my wife's Dell laptop [she's uber paranoid about losing pics/docs/etc].

Was this a one day deal or something? That link says $211.99 now and no mention of any codes.

Yes, it was a 24 hour deal on Saturday.

there's a huge thread on SD that talks about how TRIM isn't working for this drive, at all. any thoughts?

Would be nice if the OP marked it as such in the header so we know it's dead.

It has been enabled with new firmware. The one I bought a couple of weeks ago came updated and trim works. It is also VERY fast. Read and Write both over 550, for me any way, with an Ivy B and Windows 8 Enterprise. Boots about 8 Sec, shutdown about 3.

Which version of the firmware did you receive on your Sandisk???
