i have seen the sandisk extreme for $99.99 for the 120gb, how is this drive compared to the samsung 830?

or should i wait for the price to go down?

You may want to read an investigative review published by Tweaktown that just happens to involve a SanDisk Extreme SSD (and others), the SandForce Controller, and the Series 5 firmware:

I normally recommend Samsung.

If you are in the USA the best place to check for Internet sale prices, daily deals, and special promotions is LogicBuy:

Prices change constantly so you'll have to check every day until you find what you want at the price you want.
