Thanks for the heads up; I'm anticipating the review, especially a comparison with Vertex 4.

It would be also great if you could provide idle/load power draw measurements, as they can be important for laptops.

Well, I'd like to compare 2 likely the best SSDs. If you want to benchmark GTX 680, you don't just say it's the best, period.
