Good idea releasing a drive like this in just 120 and 240 capacities. With those prices the TLC performance will be rock bottom and really should just be purchased for users going from HDD to SSD. Even a slower TLC drive will show the access time and power saving benefits of any SSD.
As usual, OCZ/Toshiba doesn't seem aware of their own release. No mention as of this moment on their website a couple hours later. Do they not have this stuff timed and aligned?
