Nice deal on a top tier SSD. Nice find @Xyriin

If my next SSD purchase wasn't going to be in the 500gb range I'd have already bought this.

LOL nice! You should get 2x 256 GB and RAID 0 them. At the rate we've been going, I'd say by year's end we should see some tier 1 stuff get clearanced to around $0.5/GB.

Yeah, 256 is manageable but I hate having to float that last bit of space and uninstall/reinstall items just because I get a new game. Max Payne 3 had a pretty large install footprint. 512 would set me up pretty good and I could actually move some items like music back on the SSD.

yeah MP3 was over 28gb in just install files 0.o

i think it ended up around 30Gb total..

i'm getting 2x240/256gb ssd's to get the performance boost..

I seriously doubt we will see pricing as low as it is now

DigiTimes reports that Samsung Electronics and Toshiba are considering plans to slow down production on their most advanced NAND flash technologies until demand for solid state disks (SSDs) increases as per industry sources.

The sources said that Samsung's and Toshiba's transitions to 21nm and 19nm technology respectively have already boosted the production of NAND flash memory, but the demand is still lagging behind the production pace leading to an oversupply and price drops. In the wake of the turn of events, Samsung and Toshiba are both contemplating the possibility of postponing their scheduled 12-inch fab expansions as an effort to prevent further falls in chip prices.
