Looks like the 32GB will be around £90 ish here with current exchange rate, VERY fast but 32gb is too small for me, 64gb would be too expensive for me. Wonder how much difference the 32mb cache will make compared to the 64mb cache versions.

If you find any review please post them in here!

Just had a quick look and couldn't find this for pre-order on any sites.

What's the betting those prices...

with suggested retail prices of US$129, US$249, US$469 and US$869, respectively.

... will be converted 1:1 into £'s!

Absolutely, and very quickly, give it 6 months and you'll be able to get a 128gb for more or less the same price that'll be a lot quicker

I`m interested in the 250GB version for my OS and games. Hopefully these don`t have the same problems as the previous OCZ SSD drives, and work just as good as the Intel ones.
