Cheapest Intel drive I've seen. Wish it wasn't from Rakuten.

Edit: OOS anyways.

They had 216 of them on ebay today. Me and someone else each got one. Another guy bought 214 of them!

Slickdeals is a good place to follow prices, stay the hell away from rakutken

The Intel 335 240GB drives were very cheap last week. After extra $20 rebate, $20 coupon (from Shopprunner) and $40 rebate, the $240 GB was $59.99. Throw an extra 5% off using ShopDiscover. I chose not to get one (now I wish I would have).

As for SlickDeals....absolutely love (and hate) that place. Best place in the world to find deals....worst place in the world to get you to spend money on crap that you don't need! :biggrin:

I got one from the site and got my tracking today. Hopefully it all goes well.

In that case how much credit card info does Rakuten know?

None. It's taken care of via Paypal.

None. It's taken care of via Paypal.

But they will still have you name, address, and what else?

Agreed.

Citi and BOFA credit cards offer virtual credit card numbers which I would highly recommend for any Rakuten.com purchase.

^Oh, snap! Rakuten living up to its reputation.

Intel? Check. Solid state? Check. Non volatile storage? Whoops.

Ya, of coarse the "accident" wasn't an i5 or i7!

Just going to buy a Crucial MX100 I think. But I love :wub: the Intel SSD Toolbox!
