That's not a bad price. Lowest I've seen it on Amazon was $439 for a day or so. That was about a month ago.

What I want to see though is the price on 64gb drives drop to the point where everyone will using cached HDDs 🙂

Are you, nwo and john3850 talking about Intel's Smart Response, or is there something else I should be aware of? (When I read "cached drive", I thought of the hybrid drives.)

Prices on large SSDs are currently outstanding. They've actually been crashing down over the past couple days that I've been looking. Amazon's got the 960GB right now for $500, and the 480GB is (as noted above) under $300. I actually expect prices to spring back up in the short term as we leave the holidays.

Yes, that's exactly what I am talking about. There is also some third party ways to cache a HDD with a SSD without having the correct intel chipset, so a lot of different hardware configurations can cache a HDD now.

The link below is old news but it was fast.
http://www.thessdreview.com/our-rev...-at-13gbs-and-765000-iops-in-60-seconds-flat/

I used FancyCache once with few SSD and 16gm ram when I then loaded 10 game saves in a
row those were the fastest IOPS I ever saw.
FancyCache with a single game load wont even make a difference but If you had a game server and then used FancyCache it would speed things up.

Cheap and fast 64GiB SSDs would be nice for home ZFS NAS... shame they're disappearing.

@john3850: Thanks for mentioning http://www.thessdreview.com/. It looks like there is a lot of good information there. Thanks to Rinaun, too.

Too bad the 5% Amazon credit card promo ended Dec 31. $500 for that Crucial seems good.

The current NewEgg deal: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/240G 2.5" 240GB for $130 through Jan. 5. No rebates or codes. That's the lowest price for that one on PCpartpicker's chart.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Thanks, updated the first post since the Crucial deal was no longer alive.

 

[gplracer]

How does the Kingston drive compare to the Samsung 840 EVO?

 

[RaistlinZ]

Comparing similar drive sizes, the EVO is faster.

I suppose you could file this one under "warm", but Newegg has the Seagate 600 Series 240 GB SSD for $139.99 with promo code (EMCYTZT5382). Expires 01/07/2014.

I think I might jump on it.

 

[emenk]

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB for $195 with "mystery" code: EMCYTZT5439. $1 Shipping. Newegg. Expires at 11:59pm PT on 1/14/2014. Dealnews says it was $11 cheaper last month, but I don't see that on the PCpartpicker chart.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Use this code for 10% off EVO drives: BTEPWWG25

1TB EVO = $539.10

250GB EVO = $157.49

That's a pretty nice price. Adorama is a highly regarded camera retailer. Probably second only to B&H. So I think they should be as safe as an eBay seller gets.

Agreed, I purchased a refurb Nikon camera from Adorama a few months ago. The camera arrived within a few days, as described and works perfectly.

I bought a different sized Evo from them via eBay. No problems. It shipped in a padded bag, IIRC, but that should be enough.

BTW, note the sticky post at the top of this topic. 😉 Actually, I don't know the background behind that, but it's there.

PNY XLR8 SSD9SC120GMDF-RB 2.5" 120GB $70 after $20 rebate and code: EMCYTZT5536 through Sunday, I think.

IIRC :

ebay won't pay a referral to anandtech thus no ebay sales listed here even if it is newegg or any major company on ebay as a buy- it-now.

I could be wrong about this but I read it somewhere. If I am wrong please feel free to point it out I will delete the post.

Using some "thank you" codes from Newegg I can grab a Samsun 840 Evo 500GB SSD for $278. That's $0.56/GB. I've been out of the SSD loop recently and I don't see this specific drive in this thread (besides on ebay...). Is that a good price?
