Just got my hands on one of these monster sized SSD's!

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!

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
