I'm going to order one of the Sandisk's for my games. As all my games are steam is it possible to move individual games to the SSD ?

You can use a symlink to do this.

I'm so tempted to buy the 240gb lol how long are the prices like this?

This could be great! I wish 2tb drives would come down in price soon though as I need 2 lol

Andrew Moore · 4 May 2012 at 14:07

OCZ forcast further price drops - correct
Prices even lower - incorrect

OCZ are behind a little on price, thats just how it is. No more price drops for some time. Samsung, Micron and Sandisk control the price of NAND and they have already made their move.

Prices will always drop - fact

I have always said that SSD prices will come down quite a bit, in time. By the end of the year i am sure more will be much less in price.

Looking forward to this landing. Looks like equivalent to M4 for less pennies.
Oh happy me!

Crucial M4's do have extra capacity ie 120 vs 128, 250 vs 256 its not negligible if you are concerned about having a smaller boot drive than the 1gb hard discs we all loved just a year or so age.

Already got one in the rig, oh well, I will take a look once this hockey festival is over and body recovers.

MumboJumbo · 6 May 2012 at 12:51

WHAT THE HELL MAN? You can't do these stupid prices when I only bought mine a few weeks ago. Just isn't fair!

I'm not.

Spent the last few weeks resisting the urge, with all the ssd price drops. Kept trying to convince myself I had no need as I'm still on s775.

But it turns out I am weak and not immune to these silly deals. Gone for the 240gb. Will I see anything of an improvement? Dunno, but it's good for the next build

Surprised I haven't picked up this mouse at a bloody silly price.

SlugForAButt · 7 May 2012 at 22:13

Well done mate, should still see a good improvement on s775.
And yes, the £0.70 per Gb was what finally did for me too.

Bring it on!

Tempting... but my steam drive would need to be at least 300gb
Here's hoping that this is SSD prices are going down and down... I wonder if I can hold off to 50p/Gb?

You can use Steam Mover to shift unused Steam games to a secondary drive to free up SSD space.

I've been using it for a while now, works brilliantly.

dpbadger · 8 May 2012 at 00:59

I have just ordered another of these and I haven't even got the first one yet. One for boot to replace a 1st gen intel ssd and one for my steam drive.
