That's a good price on the M4. If you want to get it you better jump on it soon because the Amazon price will probably go back up now. Buy.com was selling them for $159.99 - $10 for a new account. I snagged one earlier at Buy.com for $149.99 shipped + FatWallet cashback but they are all sold out now.

Damn that's temtping I have a 128Gb I could give that one to my brother.

 

[jhansman]

Damn. I paid $190 for my 256GB 830 a month ago and counted myself lucky.

Same price at buy.com

I jumped on this a week or two ago last time it popped. Great drive for that price. Looks like we'll be south of $0.50 a GB soon.

Should I get it.. I don't use my 128 gb that much just os and programs.

If you need the xtra space the price is good....If it's just because the price is good then most likely NO

If you want the 7mm thick version instead (the one above at Amazon and Buy.com are the 9.5mm thick), it's $149.99 shipped at Newegg.

Is there a big difference? Most adapters for desktops are for 2.5 inches in length, not sure if thickness would make a big deal.

For a desktop, it doesn't unless you're talking about certain very confining ITX builds. It matters for laptops though. And that's an amazing price at Newegg...too bad its OOS.

 

[sze5003]

Yeh I was thinking that for laptops each one would take a different set of thickness depending on your brand. I'm sure in a month or two we can grab the same deal somewhere.

As someone stated earlier, I only keep the OS and minor applications and drivers on the SSD, all games and stuff go on the 1TB HD. I have 103GB left of my 128gb SSD that includes all windows updates.

I would love to ditch the 1tb and just have one large SSD but that won't happen for a long time. Was thinking about grabbing it but its not a need right now.

 

[Rio Rebel]

Agree...I recently hopped on the SSD train, and for my desktop I think a 90gb would be fine. Nothing gets stored on it but the OS and some basic applications.

For a laptop, it would be nice to take out the platter drive altogether, so I can see a market for the larger SSD's.

What gets lost in most of the benchmarking is that most of the benefit is there even on "low performing" SSD, because the access time is still so low even if the throughput isn't as high.

$145 shipped via Prime if you click on used, it is through their warehouse deals dept... Awesome!

 

[gothamhunter]

Dead..wth. Price back up to $205.

 

[gothamhunter]

Back down to $182.10. WTF is up with the prices on this?

 

[sze5003]

Give it a week

If you can wait 2-5 weeks, Amazon has the SSD1 (7mm height as opposed to 9mm for SSD2) for $149.99.

Jeeze... I checked it, refreshed page, and now those are gone too; $169.99 only ones left!

 

[sze5003]

Check newegg too they had them for 149

Nope $199. Amazon must have been price matching. They have the 240GB Kingston for $160 now, but not nearly as interested.
