solid state disk

i heard they crap out a lot. but then i heard that intel ones dont crap out anymore. so i found one for a descent price :

http://www.canadacomputers.com/prod...item_id=027918&sid=ik2cj4kf10ksadrnacd5l51la4

$130 for 40gb - plenty for me and cheaper than a velociraptor !!! WIN ???

 

[sir-drek]

Decent price I guess, but my steam folder alone is like 14gb. For an OS partition and some favoured games, coolbeans!

 

[LT_Clash]

i wouldnt get one id get a 10000rpm HDD over a SSD

 

[sir-drek]

10k drives benchmarks were barely better than 7.2k... SSD is way better

 

[Hinouchi]

damn 47 you going full out on your new com? crazy fuck! XD

but yea the intel ssd is the best in the market right now.

 

[LT_Clash]

speed wise yes but i prefer a drive that wont die after 100000 read write cycles.

 

[dead mike]

just cause its intel man i dont think u can go wrong, but at least get the 80gig one. Intel X25-V 40GB around 1 game there? Plus the 40GB VALUE series is half the speed of the mainstream....

Intel X25-M Mainstream 80GB 2.5" SATA2 Solid State Drive $240

or not go intel and buy this one only 50GB but fast man

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227528

then get 500GB for 39.99 you will be in paradise

or http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=50895&vpn=WD1002FAEX&manufacture=Western Digital WD

black edition comes with 5 year warrenty and i think is the fastest 7200rpm drive

 

[Hinouchi]

raid 0 anyone?

 

[dead mike]

raid 10 if anything raid 5 and 0 combined into oneee

the ssd has to be INTEL, otherwise they burn

ok guys, STFU and help me find a good deal on a INTEL SSD. 40gb is a little too small

 

[dead mike]

reading newegg reviews and specs, it looks like ocz is winning right now, better price and speed on the drives.

check out the price on that case.... infonec is at bay/dundas area and have wearhouse in ssauga, and prices are better.... or order everything and get it shipped overnight for 8.99

so fking pricey...

and for that cooler master case, canada computers and ncix selling it for 89.99 before 10 dollar main in rebate.

the case i got is 140 at canadacomputers and tiger, thats what i paid.

i heard u get fuct at newegg because it comes from US = customs rape

Price match at NCIX.com. Its situated in BC somewhere, so you only pay 7% tax (if you live outside of the province). Plus, they often have shipping discounts.

yupppp

 

[Hinouchi]

no they have a Canada newegg now, so no duty or custom, but the best way to go is ncix, save yourself from the tax, i only pay 5 percent tax for my 1.4k laptop, and the shipping took exactly 13 hours, so if you find any good part at lower price some where els, you can pricematch it at ncix, might take 1-3 business days for them to look over, but it's worth it.
