Saw this today. I may have to buy a couple of them.

    Dang! I want that for my gaming machine....

    At the moment I have a 240 GB which is fine but RPGs can be bloated in size and I would like to keep most of them on my SSD rather than moving stuff back and forth to the secondary HDD

    Yeah its pretty cheap. I am thinking of getting a couple and putting them into a RAID0.

    Wow. To think that 100GB SSDs used to cost an arm and a leg not too long ago. With these advancements, there really is no excuse to be using spinning HDDs any longer, not even in the enterprise storage space.

    Tempting, but it'd take me about a year to install it in something. I'm thinking I might build my next PC end of 2016, not sure yet.

    The price from Newegg is $349.99, the price from Best Buy is $303.99. The $269 price you see on Newegg is from one of their sellers "Hot Deals 4 Less". They have too much negative feedback for my tastes.

    The deal is no longer on amazon. It was a limited deal for yesterday, but it was $219.00 when I posted it. It's gone back up to $299.00
