Well the reads speeds are pretty good but the write speed isn't close to what is advertised. I think it may be something with my motherboard whether it be the bios or the Marvell sata 6g controller. I will keep trying different things to see if I can get it up to speed.
Update: Crap, I just read this post on the Mushkin support forums. The Marvell sata 6g controller on my mobo maxes out at those speeds. I still really like the drive and this is still the best deal out there. Anyone with a newer motherboard shouldn't have the same problem just do you're research.

Sadly I will live with these numbers, as I can't justify a mobo swap , hell going from a 7200rpm hdd to a ssd even at them speeds is well worth it imho.
FYI Amazon has price matched the egg.

Anyone know if this drive will need a firmware update out of the box?
