  Cold, this is too old and these were not reliable at all, I had 3 of these fail on me.
  
  The sandisk deal is much better.

  3-Year Manufacture Warranty

  itstor are not an approved OCZ seller and therefore there is no 3 year manufacturers warranty. You get a 12 month warranty with itstor only. If itstor cease to exist tomorrow and your drive fails then you're screwed.
  
  It's highly unlikely that itstor do not know this and yet their scumbay listing says the drive carries a 3 year manufacturers warranty. I'll let you make your own decisions on just how trustworthy a company that makes them.
