it's amazing isn't it. where were these prices when I was shopping?

gotta add.......... OP you may only have 10 minutes to order at this price. might have been a one day sale......... ( my security won't let me open links )

 

[Someone Somewhere]

In fact, it's gone already. Damn.

I'd probably go for a Crucial M500 128GB for $67.

 

[i7Baby]

Gee - this turned out to be a harder task than I thought. Random bombshell pricing doesn't help us help the OP!

 

[swifty_morgan]

one of Intels 180's is on sale with a promo code..... $109. might be an exclusive?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

There's a number of 240/256GB ones for ~$110.

 

[swifty_morgan]

somebody has to pony up more money.

 

[theguywhoisnotgoodatthisstuff]

lol i can afford to go at most 10-15 bucks higher

 

[Someone Somewhere]

I'd grab one of these.

 

[theguywhoisnotgoodatthisstuff]

265 dollars saved !!!!!!!!!
Head explosion

 

[Someone Somewhere]

$265? Who wanted $370 for a 240GB SSD?

 

[swifty_morgan]

those kingstons always run slower than almost anything else.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

However, basically all SSDs are at the point of 'fast enough'. It's hard to find a difference outside of synthetic benchmarks; storage is no longer a bottleneck.

To get anything faster, you'd have to drop back to a 128GB drive to stay within budget. And size is far preferable to speed, IMHO.

Are those kingston ones not the SSD's where the shipped them out for review with good bits inside, then swapped it out for cheaper crap for retail? So they really are hugely inferior to other SSD's?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

The list price tends to be utter crap; it was what it launched at.

Ouch; you're right. I'd forgotten about that mess. I'd put them on a don't buy list for that...
