Don't miss out and grab yourself an SSD this weekend.

 

[TruffleShuffle]

Loving the price on the Agility 3.

Ordered Entering the SSD world for the first time.

 

[MooMoo444]

God damnit, I didn't expect that agility 3 to get even cheaper.

I was wrong!

 

[Simps]

Nearly brought this at 3pm but got side tracked watching the tennis. Glad I waited now
Also entering the SSD world for the first time.

 

[jeff6475]

240gig for £129.95

BLOODY SILLY PRICES.

 

[Nexus18]

Not buying anything till I see the crucial m4 128GB or the Samsung 830 one at £65!!!!

 

[DennisMenace]

Not buying anything till I see the crucial m4 128GB or the Samsung 830 one at £65!!!!

Do not mention competitor prices still very competitive). They may drop further, but I doubt it will be by much - certainly not compared to the recent price crashes. And with NAND/DDR, prices can go up quite suddenly too.

The reasons/rumours I've heard for the current price drops are :
- Shifting "old" stock ready for next-gen SSDs/controllers (Sata4 ?)
- A global glut of NAND chips
- The big boys (Samsung, Crucial, OCZ) forcing out the numerous small players ***

*** Although I'm all for healthy competition, there do seem to be endless Sandforce clone drives, which offer nothing new except a different coloured case. Basically, we need less SSD manufacturers and more for HDDs.

 

[Nexus18]

Indeed!

£75+ is more than what I would like to spend really, very tight budget

I think ocuk had the m4 128GB at about £65-70 for a one day only deal a few months ago, so I am patiently waiting for that again or one for the Samsung 830 series SSD

Also crucial are supposedly releasing their new SSD sometime soon (which is why there have been quite a lot of deals on their current ones recently)

I can't see them dropping by too much either over the next few months But I am hoping OCUK will have a "today only" deal for one or both of them at some point

 

[shadow_boxer]

Great,price on the Agility.

 

[jakspyder]

Great prices but im also waiting on a good 128GB M4 Deal to pair with my current one

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Aye cracking price on the agility I'm waiting for the sandiisk extreme for raid

 

[bulldog147]

The reasons/rumours I've heard for the current price drops are :
- Shifting "old" stock ready for next-gen SSDs/controllers (Sata4 ?)
- A global glut of NAND chips

And then the new one will be more expensive! That's the way is it ?

 

[Devrij]

Loving the price on the Agility 3.

Ordered Entering the SSD world for the first time.

You're going to love it.

I paid £180 for my 120GB vertex2e, so £130 for that 240GB Agility 3 is looking mighty tasty. I might have to shift all my big progs (photoshop etc) onto one of them. Hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... If only I hadn't just put down a deposit on a flat.... I could live in a box maybe.

 

[bulldog147]

2 x Agility 3 in Raid 0 will make it 480GB and fastest around 1Gb/s write and read speed. Wish I had that kind of money!

 

[jakspyder]

@ Bulldog147 While I certainly dont have the money for such a thing, Its not actually that expensive. Crazy when i think my sata2 128gig M225 cost me £320 when i got it...

Thankfully it died and i got an M4 as a warranty replacement

@Devrij Same boat here, deposit and 3 months advanced rent... what a killer. On the positive the new flat is kickass

 

[bulldog147]

Yeah it quite scary when one of the SSD had died on us, not a nice pleasure feeling as we don't believe a wording MTBF of a million of hours. I heard that the only SSD that never died is Intel, M4!

 

[jakspyder]

yeh well thankfully crucial had a 5 year warranty on my drive. and were very quick and easy to deal with. and a huge 2 generation leap in upgrades yay for crucial.

 

[Surveyor]

NM.

 

[HammyUK]

So cheap now

 

[Simps]

Wow I'm loving SSD speed. Superb service form OCUK as usual, thank you
