Minor advantage over above OCZ SATAIII 120GB SSD deal: No rebate to submit
They are about the same up-front out of pocket cost.
However, this deal DOES cost more because it includes IMO a pretty much useless USB2 to SATA adapter and software to facilitate migrating an existing OS from your current HDD to the new SSD. That would add about $20 to the cost. There are a number of freeware OS migration programs out there. However, you would think they'd provide a USB3 adapter to at least leave you with something more useful afterwards.
Disadvantage over above OCZ SATAIII 120GB SSD deal: Higher Cost, and apparently lower performance specifications
(I'd personally go with the above OCZ 120GB SATAIII SSD deal)
