newegg shellshocker deal.

first off the deal has a typo. it has a photo of a 128gb plextor sata III ssd. but the written part reads a 120gb sataIII patriot ssd.



Okay a 128 or a 120 gb ssd sataIII is a shell shocker deal today 10 Am to 12:59 pm PT normal price is 214.99 it is 149.99 and a 40 dollar rebate mail-in.

gets you down to 109.99. which is under 1 dollar a gb! THE ad is for 3 hours only but even without the rebate 149.99 for a 120gb ssd or a 128gb is decent.


this ad may have a typo in it.. as the drive is called a plextor the photo is of a 128gb plextor but the written part under the photo reads patriot pyro pp120gs25ssdr. so I am not sure if the 128gb plextor is on sale or the 120gb patriot is on sale. eight way 109.99 for a sata III ssd of 120gb or 128gb is worth looking at.


I am going to email newegg maybe they will fix it. I sent email so it may get a correction. but a 128gb plextor or a 120gb patriot for 110 after rebate is a good price.

I got in on this, and I'm sure its a great drive, but....

I'll trade you my Patriot Pyro for your Intel 80GB if you want to include the difference. I'd much rather have the Intel, especially since discovering my Thinkpad x130 seems to have some issues with the Sandforce controller and data transfer rates :\
 
If you run this on a SATA II controller throughput rates will cap at roughly ~220MB/sec for reads and writes. I picked up a Pyro on this special and didn't think the effect would be so pronounced. I'm currently running 2X Kingston 64GB in Raid and get around 400 MB/sec reads and 300 MB/sec writes. Will be moving over to SATA III in a few days.
