Intel Corporation SSDSC2CT180A4K5 - Best Buy
Anyone have a opinion on this model ?
180GB is a strange size. I have two 5 year old Intel SSDs. They have been working to this day. Intel has a good reputation in SSD landd.
According to this site $67.00 is a great buy.

On the AnandTech site, it states this SSD has a "SandForce SF-2281" Controller, is this going to be a problem ?
There were problems with early sandforce controllers. But I think they fixed that. Have not seen any complaints lately.
Here is some serious savings for top of the line Intel.
