Newegg has a promo code for anyone who is subscribe via email. it's 20% off. I got 30$ off this bad boy. I wonder if Apple will sue Samsung for this? I mean, they're suing them for everything else they make.

Some of us don't want to use a USB stick as our OS drive on our everyday computer ;) Title: Re: 0.15W SSD Post by: cmg5461 on June 12, 2012, 12:58:36 PM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147134 Why you need this 0.15wt SSD, when you can get cheap flash stick, which wattage is even lower?Newegg has a promo code for anyone who is subscribe via email. it's 20% off.

Not looking forward to using my HDD for storage >.< Title: Re: 0.15W SSD Post by: dave3 on June 12, 2012, 02:44:27 PM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147134 Newegg has a promo code for anyone who is subscribe via email. it's 20% off.

I wonder how the Samsung's compare to Intel SSD's for reliability. I paid more than that for an 80GB Intel SSD not too long ago. Title: Re: 0.15W SSD Post by: cmg5461 on June 12, 2012, 03:22:31 PM I'd say their relatively the same. Most Sata III SSD's are a few % away from eachother. Reliability on the otherhand..
Title: Re: 0.15W SSD Post by: crazyates on June 12, 2012, 03:40:42 PM I bought an OCZ Agility III. Failed within 10 minutes (doing everything right, firmware up to date). Replaced it with a Sandisk Extreme. Been rock solid since!

Title: Re: 0.15W SSD Post by: rjk on June 12, 2012, 03:51:40 PM My rule of thumb for OCZ and other SandForce based drives: If it doesn't fail within the first month of operation, it is pretty much guaranteed to last for a long while. I have had astounding failure rates, but the ones that don't fail are awesomely fast. SandForce controllers are a whole new level of absolute shit QA testing, usually a bad drive will fail during OS install or shortly thereafter.

SandForce controllers are a whole new level of absolute shit QA testing, usually a bad drive will fail during OS install or shortly thereafter. pretty much. have personal experience with a mushkin chronos deluxe 256gb (tier 1 sandforce based). Had random lockups/dropouts of the SSD about 3-5 times per week and only completely powering off the SSD and repowering it would cause it to re-appear. I RMA'd it for an identical model and has been rock solid for a month, no problems at all. |
