Well, fairly ordinary for a "weekly special" type of price. Slightly better than normal, perhaps, but not terribly unusual. I'm expecting that to become "the norm" over the next 2-3 months.

JMICRON gave early SSDs a bad name.
Their newer controllers are much better (eg. in some of the Kingston V-series drives), but given a choice I look for a Marvell controller.

Cheers
