Best deal on an SSD drive
I found a good one that Newegg has for less than Amazon. Not sure
if it's the fastest, but it's probably the most reliable end-user type. And after my first/last experience with an SSD drive, I wanted reliable. Don't really need 120 GB, but the price was right for this Intel 520 Series SSD drive. It's $155 (shipped USA). The 60 GB version lowest price is $105. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167095 Intel 520 Series Cherryville SSDSC2CW120A310 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - OEM -- Of course, feel free to post about other deals. |

Even if you bought four of the Intel SLC ones and ran them in RAID, it still might not be practical. SLC buys more wear life. Paul |

You can also buy 4 GB quad SLI ready video cards, for about $1500 (US) each. Imagine, your video cards costing $6000 and running on your quad SLI motherboard. |

FWIW... That wasn't a mistake, Newegg bumped up the price five
dollars right after I ordered it. |

Reviews on Newegg don't indicate a problem. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820171568 And Fry's only wants $179 for it. http://www.frys.com/product/6989047?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/457...w/index12.html "Feb 28, 2012 At the time of writing the SanDisk Extreme is the lowest priced SF-2281 240GB drive at Newegg with good flash, i.e. NOT asynchronous IMFT flash." The flash chips are Sandisk/Toshiba made, a joint partnership on one fab. I suppose in a way, it's Sandisk committing to buying a certain quantity of chips (as the fabs are expensive to build). http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/...mory-plant.jpg http://www.pcworld.com/businesscente...nvestment.html HTH, Paul |
