The 520 doesn't have good prices anywhere at this point. They are still reaping the newness of the drives. When the prices settle in proper range which is slightly more than a Vertex 3 then it will be a good buy.

"Best SSD" is a loose term. Sandforce usually has extremely fast speeds, but it isn't as reliable, and the second it starts dealing with uncompressible data it slows down. It's kinda like there is no "one best car". They all have there pros and cons. But around here, we love the Crucial M4! Good buy! And especially at that price...
