**Today Only 30/12/2011** Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SSD & Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB 1600M

[Zhokel]

Wanted an SSD for a while now, done and bought . Now the long wait till Tuesday for delivery, stupid holidays falling on a Sunday.

I have 16GB running 1600Mhz 1.5v OOB (Socket 1155)

OOB?

Really want to purchase one of the M4 128gb SSD's but i want to install it with the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Intel Z68 board which is out of stock

Any idea OCUK when this board will be back in so i can purchase both the M4 SSD and this?

Thanks again

 

[kerrgreg]

order it now and send in a webnote or ring? if you order and buy it should get shipped once its in stock.

I have that board and tbh I would not recomend it. It has some serious cold start issues and re-boots. Has taken me ages to get mine running ok at 4.6ghz...

Thanks for that guys, i have been dwelling between the Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 and the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 for a little while and just cant make up my mind which one to setup a new M4 128gb SSD with. Thanks for the advice Moogleys regarding your board, i have read a lot of reviews about both boards and i must admit spec wise there doesn't seem a lot in it. They both have two 6gb Sata III ports and more than enough Sata II ports, i guess the Z68XP-UD3 supports pci 3.0 which may well be more future proof as well as an extra 8x pci lane rather than the Z68AP-D3 extra x4 lane. Im not looking to cross fire at all really so maybe i should just go with the Z68AP-D3 as its cheaper and in stock

I echo the crying over sold out ram......... *cry*

BUGGER!

 

[Jaysquirrel]

Reeeh I missed out on the RAM again.

However I don't know why OCUK increased it's regular price to £47.99, that's £14 more than various other places.

OOB?

Out of box (no setup required)

 

[Hyburnate]

Good to hear!

When you put Slipperz I thought you were asking for slippers haha which isn't in our inventory, then I read the user name

OCUK Slippers! I demand them! But they must have backs. .

Do you ever think SSDs will be cheaper than Mechanical HDDs? Ooops meant as cheap as Mech HDDs are today (without the flooding)

 

[Uther]

I think thats the same ram that was on offer a week or so back for that price! I grabbed some then, and looking at the current standard price I'm sure glad I did.

 

[Slipperz]

Managed to bag myself an M4 as well as the RAM sod it!!

OCUK Slippers! I demand them! But they must have backs. .

I think you may be onto something there matey And yes backs are a must!!

Slipperz

oooh SSD

Yay! Been wanting a reason to get an m4. Being my first SSD i can't wait.

Thanks

I don't know much about SSDs, can I ask why do people choose the M4 rather than something like the OCZ Agility 3, which seems to have faster read/write speeds and is cheaper?

From what I've heard, reliability.

The M4 also has better random read speeds, this makes it faster in real world situations.

 

[fowler002]

is there some competition we don't know about where you see how many times in a month you can have the same deal? I've lost count how many times you've had the ram at £30 over the last month, also its not the 1st time the ssd has been that price.

 

[xxShinobixx]

Ram still sold out by noon i think. If it sells why not have the same deal?
