OMG, PINCH ME, I had to read this a couple times to make sure I wasn't reading this wrong, a Intel 240gb SSD for $139.99 After coupon for new customers, which I am because I have never bought from buy.com before, ohhhhh man, I expected these prices for Black Friday on a Samsung 830 256gb but not an Intel!
Crap now I gotta think, this Intel 330 series now for $149.99 or wait for Samsung 830 black friday deal which im estimating to hit at least $150 for 256gb. what do you guys think

Amazing how the prices are dropping, right? This is the best Sandforce controller drive, but the con being Sandforce is that it uses lot power on idle (0.85W [anandtech.com]) compared to others such as Samsung (in-house chip, 0.38W) or Crucial/Plextor (Marvel chip 0.66W) which I think is important for laptops. If it was 7mm height, I would have still bought this. Edit: I didn't know the 4K random read/write IOPS are pretty low compared to other Sandforce drives. Hmm....

Well for me its not bad as its for a desktop, Its a 3 year old build and I finally got in the mood for upgrading, recently bought a new mobo,going to buy a new cpu and an ssd, because I am using a mechanical hdd and since SSDs finally dropped to reasonable budget prices this is why I am looking for one,and I did not know about the power difference between them,but this doesnt affect me because its for a desktop
still waiting on more input to see If i buy it tonight

I have the 180gb model and it is a great drive. I had the Samsung 830 and Intel 520 models and this one was within 5% of their speeds.

Took me quite a bit of Googling to find out what controller it uses... guess they really don't want you to know it uses SandForce?

Great deal either way. So far my 2 330 120GB intels are doing ok (3rd one imaged today) 700 Total SSD's handled between two jobs. Plextor M3s, M5s, Crucial M4s, Intel 320s, and Samsung 470/830s are reliable. 2 M4 failure among ~200 of them. Sandforce Sata II controlled drives, 6 RMAs among ~175 units. There, now you know why I post like I do, professional, personal experience.
If you are going to ask "what deal was that?" or" where can I find out about deal so and so?" use the search feature on SD or Google first. |

It uses sandforce but according to people they are durable and good, what sucks is their prices are high, and there were rumors on an august price cut for all intel SSDs but i doubt this is it
