160GB Intel X-25 on ZZF

[Parad0x420]

ZZF has this Intel SSD drive for a great price, wish I could afford it at the moment or I'd order one. $469.99

Not the best deal...Newegg had a special down to $424 shipped.
Still too expensive for me to get it.

considering there is often 199 deals on the 80gb on new egg I dont see why anyone would buy the 160gb for well over $450+

I want these suckers to come down to $1 a Gig, that is when I jump on the SSD bandwagon.

 

[Automiketic]

i think your going to be waiting a long time. i dont even think velicoraptors are at 1$ a gig yet and ssds blow them out of the water.

You don't really need one that big. The biggest benefactor of a SSD is the OS. It actually works quite well having a smallish one and making it mostly for the OS. The 60GB OCZ Vertex I have does a great job of that.

300GB VRs go for $180 or so on sale. Thats' well below $1/GB.

I'm hoping that sometime next year SSD's will be more in my price range. Or that I just have some money to spend on PC stuff in general...

 

[Automiketic]

and i stand corrected

 

[FudgeNuggets]

be careful when buying one. Do your homework. The cheaper ones tend to have crappy controllers and don't nearly perform as they should.
