The retail box is very plain, but who cares as you are just going to throw it away anyway... The part number is CMFSSD-256GBG2D as you can see from the box.

Inside I found the very sexy and sleek looking SSD that featured a brushed housing that looks great. The drive is labeled S256, but that is a typo and should be P256... Not sure what the difference between a P and S is on a Corsair SSD, but I'll find out later before I start the review.

The back of the drive shows the SATA power connector and SATA connector a bit better. Expect a full review of this drive next week!

So buy one, they're not that expensive anymore Dan.

They are for any decent capacity!

I'll see how much money I have left after I've spent it all on modding my new P182 and we'll see

Samsung with Samsung ICs... as for the cache not certain as it's a brand new part and not even on the Corsair SSD page yet - http://corsair.com/products/ssd/default.aspx

Yeah, I tried to check their site.

This drive has 128MB of cache
