mWave has OCZ Vertex 2 60GB for $139.99 after $20 MIR with free shipping if you join "M Club" (consists of giving them your email address so they can send you ads)

Wow, they've got good prices there...also listing the Crucial C300 (SATA 6 Gb/s) for $135.99. Sadly, it's on back order. =(

Thanks for the link, petteyg359.

Are you serious? I just bought one at newegg for $170.



Just an FYI - Its $160 before MIR with Mclub, and with MIR its $140. Newegg has the same MIR, so its a $10 difference. I dont feel bad now.

thats a sweet deal considering i paid $196 for mine looks like ill be going raid a little sooner than anticipated. nice find!

tempting. still rocking an older 10K raptor

I got one of these from the Egg a few weeks ago when there was a promo code making it $135 after MIR *crosses fingers* All I can say is HOLY CRAP...SSDs own even high performance 7200RPM drives. The space is enough since I don't game heavily any more (or almost at all really) and though I told myself I'd wait until the next flash shrink and I wanted at least 80GB I was just too tempted.

I will put out a warning for anyone that buys an SSD though - put in some time researching tweaks and settings recommendations. Maybe other companies do a better job but there are things OCZ recommends that aren't documented anywhere but their forum. Also there's a known problem where these (or all Sandforce drives) often won't sleep properly. It's not a hgue deal since boot is so fast but I was pretty irritated that none of the major sites mention this.

So collect that data and put it all in one thread here

Thats a great deal. I bought 2 of them about 3 weeks ago. Put one in my lappy and on in my desktop. even without a benchmark you can tell they are way faster. I am going to grab another to raid 0 on my desktop

Boot time on my lappy fell from 1:21 to under 25 seconds
all apps open faster especially photoshop
