Once again, you need to sign up for SPP to see the page:

Cheetah 15K.5 73GB SAS $130
Savvio 10K.2 146GB SAS $204.50

The deal on the 15k.5 looks good, but the reviews are bad. Thought about getting one to actually evaluate... but maybe not.

From the SSD Newegg review:

Pros: So fast it time travels.
Cons: my wife thought I spent this money on a stripper.

"Super Talent" .... I could see how that might apply.

There's no debate here. If you're that rich, get a Mac Air and pay someone else to use it for you.
