I assume we are talking about
<http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6373841&csid=ITD&body=QA#tabs>?
Item Number: O261-6315
Model: OCZSSD2-1VTX96G

Tiger easily beats Newegg on price (as usual)

I've managed to find one related review @
<http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/storage/ocz_vertex_turbo_120gb_solid_state_drive/1>

If someone buys one of these to replace a 'traditional' SATA drive I'd
really appreciate a [good] real-world comparison of battery life impact.
