With price around $99 to $109, it is within the very top range of these important benchmarks for real life cases:

I cannot find any SSD with similar price provides this very top range performance, not one even close. The only doubt is the stability and durability of TLC.

Exactly. And for the average builder we dont keep any part for 8 years. Just look back 8 years to what was the high end disk drive. Anyways that was still extremely heavy usage to wear out in about 8 years

Actually this deal in newegg is very good but I don't live in USA:
$99
Plextor M5P Series PX-128M5Pro 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

my local price is almost $130 US dollars.

Other local prices:
Crucial M500 120gb: around $99 US dollars
Samsung 840 Series 120GB" around $99 US dollars
Samsung 840 EVO 12gb: around $117 US dollars

My city doesn't have sales tax, so just exactly this price.

Which one would you choose?
