What is the difference between the Deluxe, and Deluxe MX?

That's a nice price for a 120GB SSD. But how do I know if this SSD is so cheap because of reliability issues?

they're cheap because prices are coming down on all ssd's... mushkin reliability is as good as anyone, and their support has always been excellent...

Been using this drive for a little over a month and it's been rock solid. I paid $130 at the time so this is a good deal!

I think Intel is the only company now that has noticeably better reliability (but at higher price). All SSDs in general seem to be more reliable than mechanical drives, though, so I wouldn't worry unless there are reports about issues with this model (which there don't seem to be).
