What's wrong with this SSD?

My gut reaction is that they are selling (relatively) smaller SSDs and have a rebate associated with it, so that when you send the UPC in, you cannot return the drive (usually the UPC has to be intact for a return).

Where 60GB-90GB used to be ok for a SSD (when those drives were > $350), a quality 240/256 GB SATA 3 SSD can be purchased for around $300 on sale. If this trend continues, you will see SSDs for 75¢/GB by the end of the year (or around $180 or so delivered).

Seems like a good fit for a netbook.
