Crucial Refurbished SSDs FS $1/GB

[snypaz]

Saw it on SD first:

http://www.crucial.com/store/refurb.aspx

$64 for 64gb - NOW OOS
$128 for 128gb
$256 for 256gb

Keep in mind refurbs only come with 30 day warranty and last time a bunch of orders got cancelled but still a nice price!!

very tempting indeed...good deal.

wish I found this before the 64gb went out of stock =(

 

[snypaz]

Yeah I jumped on it as soon as I saw it. My 64gb has been processed and is now ready to ship.. hopefully it goes through!

 

[Firsttime]

God, wish I had got in on the 64 gig, I jumped on the 128 gig drive, too good of a price to pass up.

I missed this last time. Went ahead and picked up a 128GB drive, here's to hoping it goes through. Unfortunately they charge tax in KS which tacked on about $10, plus $5 to upgrade to standard shipping. Still an awesome deal, though, came out to about $143 after everything was said and done.

SD/AT/FW effect - site is down.

 

[Tattare]

tempting.

Every time I click Buy Now for the 128 it says: "Your shopping basket is empty." Does this mean the deal is dead? Anyone else having the same issue?

Chatting with Crucial right now....
"I am sorry this part is no longer available"

Dead deal I suppose.

 

[snypaz]

Yeah, probably dead. These went fast

Ordered one of the 256GB drives, order status says "ready to ship," which is probably meaningless until it actually ships.

i actaully got in on a 256gb but canceled. the warranty is like 30 days. and i've read on the newegg reviews that some of them failed after 60 days new..

 

[Dolfan349]

Just a problem with the 256GB models?

 

[frostedflakes]

Well they're refurbished drives. And even if they were new, you could still have one crap out on you after 60 days, that's just luck of the draw. Even with the best quality control, some duds are going to roll off the line.

You're obviously taking a bit of a risk, but you're also paying half the dollar per GB vs buying new ($1/GB refurbished, vs about $2/GB new). That's the trade-off. If you're uncomfortable with a 30 day warranty, though, you should probably buy new.

If you are concerned about warranty, just use your Amex or Mastercard card that adds an additional year to your purchase.

I thought that they didn't do that for refurbs.

 

[Ricochet]

Deal is dead. Getting the same result as Arik5405

 

[Dolfan349]

Well, looks like my 256GB drive shipped. Here's hoping this turns out well!

 

[frostedflakes]

My 128GB is still being processed. Hopefully I didn't get in on this too late.

 

[timswim78]

Were the deals for 2.5" or 3.5" drives?

 

[Firsttime]

2.5" drives. Mine is still be processed, hope I got in on time, pretty sure I did but who knows.

 

[superHARD]

if you call them it's supposed to still be live. 30 day warranty.

 

[picool]

dead，so fast

 

[PCNewb]

Why do I always see this stuff a day late XD

Almost all SSDs are 2.5", with the odd 3.5" or 1.8".
