    64GB SSD and external case for $65 @ Costco.com starting 7/25

    WaTaGuMp, I am appropriately impressed by your economy of words! :D Seriously, you might be interested to know that NewEgg has an e-blast today for a 96GB V+100 (not the crummy V100 that we've been talking about) for $110. There is an additional $10 MIR, but I don't take MIRs into account.

    Not sure what site you're asking about. I ordered the 64 GB Crucial C300 from bhphotovideo.com on the evening of Thursday, 7/21/2011 and received it on the morning of Monday, 7/25/2011. The price was $105 shipped, with no tax, all exactly as promised.

    64GB SSD and external case for $65 @ Costco.com starting 7/25

    If they were the V+ series, then they wouldn't have a low price at Costco. The price at Costco for current electronics is almost always higher than at NewEgg or Amazon. The Costco advantage is the safety factor from having a 90 day return period on opened electronics, with a 100% full...

    64GB SSD and external case for $65 @ Costco.com starting 7/25

    Keep in mind the fact that the Kingston v100 is absolutely the slowest of the slow of the SSDs that are currently available. Random read/write speeds will be about one-tenth the speed of a Crucial m4 64 GB. The Crucial m4 was a Shell Shocker special at NewEgg on Thursday for $99 shipped, no...

    Bababooey, I logged into Newegg and tried your promotion code on the 64 GB C300. The price didn't drop and I got the following error message: "Although you've entered a valid promo code BTEKCJB22, your order does not currently meet the code's usage criteria." Where did you get the promo code...

    The above prices are on bhphotovideo.com. No rebate hassles. Free shipping and no tax. This is $20 and $32 less than Newegg, respectively. The drive is being sold bare without any included cables or 3.5 inch adapter. I bought a 64 GB last evening. Whether this is a good deal for you or not...

    64GB SSD and external case for $65 @ Costco.com starting 7/25

    Keep in mind that Costco always charges your state's sales tax and usually charges a substantial shipping fee. Some items ship free, but the OP's alert doesn't specify. On the plus side, you can return opened and used electronics to any Costco store within 90 days for a full refund, no...
