Intel 510 Elm Crest SSD

[Looney]

Not sure if this has been covered before, but I just saw that Intel have released a new SSD and its not the G3. Its called the Intel 510 Elm Crest, and its 34nm as apposed to 25nm. However, it is Sata 3 (6gbs).

Anyone know about these drives and when we are expecting to see them here?

Pretty damn expensive those. I'll wait for the consumer range (those are the enterprise disks)

I see wootware.co.za has listed it and its going for R 2,940.00. Unfortunately still no stock. Im rather curious about these drives. Not much info/reviews about it. I need a SSD badly, but im not sure if I should go for this, wait for SF-2500 or just get a G.Skill Phoenix Pro.
