Rnd. Read (up to) 7300 IOPS
Rnd. Write (up to) 2200 IOPS

Ouch. That's woefully pitiful compared to current generation drives.

no sale because they are giving you things that mean nothing and take nothing away from the product you are getting? it's like best buy rewardzone points...

It was a joke. I didn't realize buy.com had been taken over by Rakuten. Been a while since I've seen that name and have never seen it selling direct to USA until now.

It's hard to tell the sandisk drives apart but this is not the extreme or ultra version which is quite good.

Thats probably a misquote. The Sandisk website doesn't rate it at that, and other websites have gotten better IOPS in their testing. Looks like the deal is back to $190 tho. Do'h!

SanDisk's product page shows the same numbers I quoted off buy.com. This is their value SSD by the way, not the Ultra or Extreme as was pointed out earlier.
