Sandisk Extreme 480GB 2.5" SATA III SSD + $43 Buy.com Credit for $348.00 / $333.00 AC @ Buy.com **Live!**

EDIT: double post

Just an FYI - the write specs on the 480GB aren't as good as those on the 120GB or the 240GB; not terrible, just not as good.

how soon do you get the super points and how fast must you spend them before expiration?

Deal is alive ... Remember to use discover cash back ...

How do we know that the 13x SuperPoints deal is active?

I hit the Opt In button, but when I go to check out, it still says it is only worth 333 SuperPoints.

Yeah I was. Does anyone know how to get the $15 Off for New Customer? I hit the link and go all the way to the checkout where it shows your total and it doesn't seem to take it off.
Thanks

Thanks for the info.

460mb/s vs. 510mb/s, is that going to be any kind of noticeable difference?

What's a Rakuten?

Damn, I was way off. Thought for sure it was a raccoon/kitten hybrid.

Wow....what a GREAT deal. Just got one of these for my Macbook Pro Late 2011. Total came out to:

$348.00
-$15.00 - Coupon
-----------
$333.00 + $43 in Ratuken Super Points (good for a future purchase on buy.com)

I forgot to mention that I also went to buy.com through urlhasbeenblocked.com link and saved an additional 2.5% on the total purchase

$333.00 - $8.33(urlhasbeenblocked.com) = $324.67 + $43 in Ratuken SP

For those of you with a discover card you could save an additional $8.33 as it is a 5% off on your statement when you goto buy.com through Shop Discover

I just got an email for the squaretrade warranty on this item. It superseeds the manufacturer warranty and covers the SSD drive for 3 years - 100% money back guarantee. It's about $47.....VERY TEMPTED as it could mean I could get a new drive in the next couple of years....

Quote from celeritini : Gonna wait for that 512GB M4 dropped to ~$320 again

I agree with you. The price for this drive is great but I have RMA'd enough Sandforce drives to last a lifetime.

Horrible Merchant Reputation.
