If you want cheap SSDs buy sooner rather than later!

But samsung make their own NAND - I believe they're the world's leading NAND producer - so why would their prices rise as a direct result?

Because they can. If everyone's prices go up from the reduced NAND supply, they can raise their own prices, though not as much as everyone else does. This means they can undercut the opposition while making more profit per sale. Its win/win for them.

If you told me Thursday I could have made some money

Rumour and word on the street is that purchase of OCZ by Seagate for $1Billion has been completed so that could mean that the prices of SSD's could be on the way up.

It's not official so don't shoot the messenger if I'm wrong... (hope I'm correct as I'm holding a few shares)

thx for the info

I noticed when the floods hit Thailand eretailers put prices up on mechanical Drives but white goods companys where still selling at the same low prices.

Thats because they didnt act soon enough and as a result lost millions.

 

[Deleted User 298457]

This is such BS that Seagate are allowed to buy all these companies.

What ever happened to competition?

 

[jimmy321]

It's still a rumour OCZ's share price fell sharply after the close as the news was not confirmed.

I got a crucial m4 128GB arriving tomorrow (hopefully) or the day after, all for £75 including free delivery (royal mail first class), still don't think the price is quite right yet though.

But since I don't get free delivery from OCUK to NI for SSD's etc. and it costs about £7.25, I would have had to have waited for the drive to drop to around £65-67 in order for me to consider and that isn't going to be happening any time soon so I thought I would just get one now.

 

[opstrat]

i just went with the sammy 830. from reviews and otheres opinion's its a better drive.

Read the FAQ. You might last longer on these boards if you do.

Yeah it said last night that 170 were supposed to be delivered today. Oh well, I'm not in any rush. I still need to get my hands on an optical drive caddy.
