Been watching that since yesterday. Hoping it is still this price Monday, if so i'm gonna snag it.

Nebulous · 03-25-12, 08:53 AM

Nice price on that 120gb Chronos. Mushkin's products are awsome and their CS is outstanding.

BugFreak · 03-25-12, 06:58 PM

The whole series up to 240g is about the same $ to gb ratio. Great deals for sure. Thanks.

nd4spdbh2 · 03-25-12, 09:44 PM

these drives any good? its the same sandforce controller as other but hows the firmware and nand quality?

i already have a sf 1222 based 120gb ssd.... but really wouldnt mind a speed upgrade.

agentbad · 03-26-12, 06:10 AM

I just got mine in the mail Saturday and going to set it up today. I was watching the corsair force gt 120gb SSD but this seemed like a way better deal for the same speed.

With all the views of this thread I have a feeling these will sell out really fast if that post shows good numbers.

agentbad · 03-28-12, 04:17 PM

Well the reads speeds are pretty good but the write speed isn't close to what is advertised. I think it may be something with my motherboard whether it be the bios or the Marvell sata 6g controller. I will keep trying different things to see if I can get it up to speed.

Update: Crap, I just read this post on the Mushkin support forums. The Marvell sata 6g controller on my mobo maxes out at those speeds. I still really like the drive and this is still the best deal out there. Anyone with a newer motherboard shouldn't have the same problem just do you're research.

Went ahead and got one myself..Paid more than this for a 60 gig drive last year, couldn't resist.

edit: ordered on a wednesday, paid for 2nd day air.. Wont be here till monday, WTF.

soulfly1448 · 03-30-12, 02:03 PM

Here is this drive running on the Intel controller on the Z68 chipset.

BugFreak · 03-30-12, 08:06 PM

Wow the difference is amazing.

rollincoaster · 03-30-12, 11:36 PM

Appears it dropped in price by a whopping $2 :P

gdamn!

can you do a full atto benchmark?

clash · 04-02-12, 10:12 PM

Only complaint was paying for 2 day air, and it taking 5 days.. Other than that, groovy. Btw, i fail at MS Paint.

rollincoaster · 04-05-12, 02:15 AM

Looks like it just dropped yet again... down to $124.99 here.

The difference in real-world daily use probably won't be very noticable. For benchmarks it would be better though.

mxer657 · 04-11-12, 01:21 AM

jumped on board and bought one

medo145 · 04-11-12, 07:49 AM

would the speed double if you were to raid 2 of these into raid 0?

rollincoaster · 04-11-12, 11:14 PM

Down to $119.99 now... whats with the rapid price drop?
