** Samsung 830 seres SSD, CRAZY PRICE ** READ POST 342

[julianhj]

Is this a better drive than the OCZ???

 

[shine]

I'd be interested in the 512GB if it was available at a silly price. My MBP needs more space!

Are the OCUK staff 110% sure that the vat get back on certain SSD models has been extended to 06/06/2012 ?

Looking at the samsung claim the vat back site, it just says certain notebooks vat back has been extended.

At no point has OcUK said that the VAT back is still live.

There is a link in the product description to claim and claim only.

Samsung site says SSD vat back has finished for SSDs!

Its a date to claim up to, all have been amended so this one looks to be missed.

 

[khevolution]

would the 64gb SSD be fine for installing an OS to?

Anybody??

 

[julianhj]

Just changed my Agility 3 order for one of these.

 

[julianhj]

I use a 60GB OCZ as my C: drive without any issues.

Grumble grumble, buying SSD before price crash, grumble grumble.

Fresh sub 20GB, after some heavy use, patches and temp files etc no more than 30GB.

i bet all of us buying one now will be grumbling soon enough about further price drops

Maybe the odd few lines here and there but certainly not this one or the 830 for a while thats for sure.

 

[rjk]

there wont be much further price drops, thats why i picked mine up today

 

[carrot1401]

So any chance of a 512GB price drop?

(size of win7 install) Fresh sub 20GB, after some heavy use, patches and temp files etc no more than 30GB.

and after a couple of weeks of my sons playing FIFA, FIFA manager and various other games where they save games under a new filename(*) every time and never delete old ones then it basically a case of "as big as the size of the C: partition became last time it got full and I added another 10GB to it"

(must get round to the moving their user dirs to another partition!)

(*) suspect this is down to their schools IT department where they seem to have picked up a mantra of "never save anything with the same name twice in case you want to go back to the previous version" (bring back VMS, all is forgiven!)
