the Crucial MX100's get decent reviews but I wouldn't touch the transcend - $0.02

It has decent reviews on amazon. I've had good luck with their SDXC cards. Never used their SSDs.

Holy crap that's a good price. I like Crucial and have a 120GB drive of theirs in my gaming rig.

I know right. I wish I had the extra cash right now to pick one up.

I just picked up a 250GB Samsung that was on sale on Amazon for $100, for my work laptop. There's some great deals out there and SSD prices are dropping way faster than I expected.

Funny, there are right about where I expected them to be. I expect 512's to be be around $100-140 by xmas 2015.

They are actually getting much cheaper faster than I thought they would. I bought a SanDisk 250GB not too long for over $300. and it is still at that price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171568

The SanDisk one is marketed as the higher end extreme one but the crucial 512GB comes very close in advertised speeds. I'd be interested to compare them.

@Nic , I put a 240GB EVO in my computer too!

The same thing happens to processors. New generations come out faster and cheaper, but the older ones rarely seem to drop in price.
