Dos_Box Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Just got an email in from eBuyer with a 60GB SATA3 SSD for £30. Whilst not exactly a big drive, it could work well if anyone wants to get a cheap SSD boot drive for their PC. They're selling fast so get your skates on if you want one: Kingston 60GB V+200 SSD - 2.5" SATA-III - Read.. | Ebuyer.com 2
Dos_Box Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Bah. They had about 100 left when I started this thread!
Jamman960 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 All gone just got the email was about to order 12 for the school
ChrisH Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I was buying 128 gig ones for £32 a few weeks ago. They don't seem to have any more stock though.
Dos_Box Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Hmmm. Perhaps we need a 'bargains' forum to let everyone know about limited offers/clearances etc.
X-13 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Hmmm. Perhaps we need a 'bargains' forum to let everyone know about limited offers/clearances etc. That would only really help if it sent updates to people. As a forum, it could become out of date very quickly. [/opinion]
Dos_Box Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Huzzah! ebuyer are taking pre-orders at that price too 1
detjo Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) At home I use the Momentus XT (750Gb [MkII]), simply because SSD is very expensive for higher capacity (which still isn't very high in comparison). Win 7 boots up from cold to desktop in about 20 seconds Edited October 8, 2012 by detjo
apeo Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 So tempting but I dont really need one... hmmm maybe I could buy a few and RAID them.
3s-gtech Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Back in stock it seems. Bought one, hope it does come because that's a bargain. Had a bad experience with the V100, but the V200+ 60GB is a quick drive - I have a batch here that have gone out to staff PCs. Plenty big enough for my boot drive, will have to do some serious file moving to use it!
Steve21 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks for ordering with Ebuyer.com! Can't really complain at that price, been holding off getting a small SSD just for OS for a awhile, but with Win8 approaching and all time for a pc rebuild I think Even though it's not exactly super sized, £30 for a drive, yay Steve
tomgrindle Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Been wanting to get an SSD for a while .... well now I have one ... yayy
difinity Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I don't know which version of the firmware these drives ship with, but it's important to ensure it is the latest to reduce failures. Download SVP200_503fw_win, for SVP200S3 | Kingston Technology 1
