Good deal. The only thing I am not crazy about is smaller capacity drives at this point. Figure by the time you have paid for a chassis drive bay, HBA and the power/ data signal to the system, the cost of adding a smaller capacity drive goes up significantly. For example, it costs me say $35/ drive to connect to a system (8 port HBA for $200/ 8 = 25/ drive right there). That is a fixed cost whether it is a 256GB drive or a 1TB drive.

But nice price and a great drive!
