Only 3 years of warranty and 80TBW for 960GB model for $99? Pointless. You can get Crucial P2 1TB with same transfers, 5 years of warranty and 300(!) TBW for $105. o_O

edit: Not 450, "only" 300, my mistake, wrong datasheet.

You have to copy 200GB a day for a year to reach that. Seems a bit whiney and laughable to be complaining about a Green Drive.

these SN350 units are pretty common in laptops, so we will see reliability data soon enough, and hopefully further cuts in prices, at "MSRP" these look as expensive as SN750 usual pricing
