They are in the deal pf the day newegg sales.
Newegg.ca - Western Digital SiliconEdge Blue SSC-D0256SC-2100 2.5" 256GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - SSD

But they are slow and overprice. They should be a little over SSDnow in price not over the intel and OCZ one. Still nice to see WD in this market.

Finally, I was wondering when and if Western Digital would make SSD's. I'll still wait until the prices are reasonable and the storage is close to a mechanical drive.

the newegg page says this is the "blue" edition so likely yes?

Not bad for a first showing in the SSD market. Looking forward to see if the "Black" edition can get closer to the top dogs.
