shoulda bought yours from BLT .. thats where I got my 160GBR5's from.. paid 480 something for each..
I will never buy newegg anymore..their price gouging techniques have left a pretty bad taste in my mouth

Disregard... i didnt see the deal on slickdeals about the 175$ discount

... SNIP ...

To everyone mildly interested: I would check our tech deals forum if I were you.

Just found it. Nice deal!

I'm done for SSD's for a while. I've bought two 40GB X25-V's, three 80GB X25-M G2's, and a 160GB X25-M G2...

I'd hop on the 160GB on that deal if I needed more but can't justify it =)

Cheers,
Kermee

P.S. Newegg's inventory is virtually realtime. If it's in-stock and you successfully check out... you'll get it.

As of this posting, it's the 4th "tweet" down and the 160GB G2's are still in stock (amazingly...) -- Course at the "normal" Newegg price... I shouldn't be surprised... I'm sure they weren't moving stock on those 160GB G2's at all.

Cheers,

thanks! I fopund it! I have never really looked at that part of the forum before. WHAT A DEAL! I bought a 160GB! Dave Permen will be so happy! AWESOME paid 13 for 2 day shipping, may have it for the weekend. Got a dental implant on Monday, this may take my mind off that

well, they have stellar write speeds (the g2, 160gb, soon for everyone 100MB/s, so you can max out a gb-lan in both ways ).\

Is Intel hiring stealth forum posters? If so, can you please provide contact info? I ask for no particular reason.

too bad I dont have money for a new SSD now,
I need to pull out 3 impacted wisdom teeth which I have to pay $1000 out of pocket... damn expensive

Well... I gave myself an early Christmas present. Or I just got my last tidy paycheck before I buy Christmas presents and airfare for a trip I'm planning.

x-25M G2 160GB... Newegg. Those in the know will know why Newegg is attractive for the next couple days... I only needed about 50GB (that keeps going up, but whatever) for my needs, but the 80 was sold out. And you know what, at the end of the day I kinda wanted the 160GB since it's what my Thinkpad's Hitachi hard drive is. I didn't lose any space. Ok ok ok I'm happy.If I wake up and regain sanity I'd flip it on Ebay or here.

I'm insane so that won't happen.

So do I do a clean install and lose my saved games for Fallout 3? Or do I image my drive and continue as if nothing happened?

Just clone Your drive, align it and enjoy!
