Sandisk X400 is essentially the same drive, with a little more reserved for wear leveling, and has a 5 year warranty. And, as of the typing of this comment, it's about 10% cheaper.

@slyphnier since most +3y drives start to lose data from dying chips (rather than wear), i dont really care anymore if its more than 3y, but rather something like ocz shield to replace the drive without sending old one in first.
