That's quite the instant savings! Damn.
Too bad it's not a 2nd Generation, because I WANT that insane write speed and I think I could probably justify spending $50 more for 10GB less to have it. But... I'll probably wait until the 80GB or more is as cheap as the current 50GB is. 80GB is where I draw the line for 2010. lol
What's the difference between the Agility and Vertex?
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

Yea the Agility 2 series blows the previous out of the water. I have one on the way for testing.

What are IOPS?

IOPS stands for Input Output Operations Per Second.

Which translated into layman terms means.... ? Like, does it mean a hard drive with higher IOPS is faster than one with lower IOPS or?

yes. The more in and out per second the faster the drive.
