Kingston HyperX 3K 120 GB SATA III 2.5-Inch 6.0 Gb/s Solid State Drive SH103S3/120G $90 AC (No rebate!) + FSSS @ Amazon

Quote from jakejilan : $39 According to this Post [urlhasbeenblocked.com] You can get this deal for $39 after -$30 coupon - $50 amazon credit card. Seems awesome, i might pull the Trigger Update: It worked! I got it for $39 FREE Shipping no tax

I am checking out with my Amazon CC and see no such $50 discount

edit- blah.. isnt that the case for anyone that signs up. Through it was some sort of credit for existing customers

My current drive is an Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH120G2K5 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive.

Where would it fall on Tom's SSD Hierarchy Chart?

Is it worth the upgrade?

You have to sign up for Amazon credit card. Once you add SSD to the cart and proceed to check out. You should see Amazon $50 Credit Card -> Apply and get $50 instant discount.

Just picked one up. Good timing too, since my OCZ Agility 2 just crapped out and is being RMAd.

Great price, thanks OP

does this $50 discount require you to have a amazon Store CC, or amazon visa rewards CC?

Every day with the SSDs. What the eff?

Quote from TheNeck : does this $50 discount require you to have a amazon Store CC, or amazon visa rewards CC?

Amazon.com Consumer Rewards Visa Card, upon approval you will get $50 Gift Card and use it towards this deal.

Quote from mbraun : Frustrating Amazon thing. Tried to buy it but Amazon wants to use a gift card credit on the account as payment. When I change payment to credit card on the account (the gift card is someone else's who is using the account), I lose the coupon. What a PITA.

You should be able to create another Amazon account. I have several for different reasons (2 for business) and never had a problem from Amazon for doing so.

Thanks for the update on the drive. I had ordered the 90GB HyperX when this deal first posted here because the price then of the 120GB model was $139 - $30 = $109. Another $20 off from the original deal makes this $15 more then the 90GB drive.
Cancelled my original order, which Amazon indicated as "Shipping Soon", and ordered the 120GB drive instead.

Thanks OP and repped.

yeah i ordered the 90GB deal as well, but amazon already shipped out my 90GB before this deal 1st went live just a day later. i could return and get a refund and get the 120GB but its to much hassle.

Also i just installed the 90GB last night, and my SSD is the way to go from now one for all future computers i have.

Quote from bittul : click me [amazon.com] Chose Amazon as seller. And clip $30 coupon below. $119.99 - $30 coupon = $89.99! (or 480GB for $425 After $125 coupon) This link [amazon.com] should take you directly to Amazon as seller.

The amazon review said this 3k SSD only had 3/5 life of the normal 5k SSD?! it that true? can any one confirm this different, if the amazon review telling the true, then no wonder this SSD price drop so fast, not a good deal to me.

Hmm, I don't think i will get this since this Toshiba laptop seems to have only a SATA interface.

What do you mean? They havent been IDE/ATA for like 10 years
