Even though $280 for a 480gb SSD seems like a good deal, I find it hard to fork up that much cash for a hard drive considering decent processors cost $300.

Man. I wasn't even aware that OCZ had a Solid model in their portfolio.

Well, considering that I spent a little over 300 for a 240GB SDD...
Sigh.

Ouch. Ah well you shouldn't feel alone.
