I got my vertex 3 for $180. I've seen it on sale for $170 once.

have you had any issues with those ones?

It has an issue where if you have the hard disk set to turn off after inactivity (windows default,) sometimes it doesn't come back up which results in a BSOD.

Easy fix is to just disable that feature (it only uses up less than 2 watts while idle, so its no big deal to leave it on.)

Boot time with intel SRT cahcing setup. Haven't optimized my startup programs or anything yet. Very satisfied with this

16GB SSD + HDD + SRT = win?
