good, the price drops, but it is still expensive

If they have used the JMicron controller for the SATA version, this disc will have the same problems of lag / pause / latency than other brands. Considering the price I think not.

Unfortunately now it is the DSS and the Samsung X25-M intel which do not have those problems, but 2 and 3 times the price.
