"250 Mbps write and 70 Mbps read speeds"

Is it just me or are those numbers backwards?

lol, yes they are.

I can picture the Geek Squad situation: $130 for the ssd, $130 for installation.

And probably $130 for service/warranty

Backwards. Good catch

That seems pretty cheap for Geek Squad.

It'll be the best $800 SSD none of us bought.

i'll wait when SLC takes more prominence...

250 Mbps read and 70 Mbps write is very slow considering there are 8 bits in a byte. I think someone needs to learn the difference between Megabyte and Megabit. I'm not pointing to anyone in particular. Not even the one you think I am pointing to.

Besides being swapped, they are also blatantly wrong. I'm too lazy to multiply right now for bit speeds, but the right speeds are 250 MBps read and 70 MBps write - notice the uppercase B - very important!

Still expensive.

SSD's are still WAY too expensive. I'll wait!
