Sup, for anyone who has been waiting for an awesome deal on a SSD. I found one! Its only for the next 2.5 hours if I remember how shellshocker works.

128gb for 120 after 75$ MiR. It makes me sad that I lost my credit card today. Oh well. Hopefully someone else can get some joy out of it.

I've been thinking about getting a SSD before. But once I upgraded to a Phenom II x4 I just don't see the need. Everything is lightning fast and windows 7 is very stable. Sure, program startup is improved with a SSD, but who is in such a hurry? I don't think it's worth the money even if the technology is awesome. I'll wait it out for sometime in the future - if at all.

It's a very old tech though, using the original JMicron controller that got famous for serious stuttering issues. Newer firmwares probably cover that up somewhat, but regardless, the small block random reads and writes are under 15 MB/s and that makes it a poor drive. I wouldn't recommend it.

yeah I noticed it wasn't sandforce controller which made me hesitate a bit, but I thought its performance would of still been worth the investment.

Emon, I think its more than just opening programs. Everything is supposed to go faster, your boot time, alt tabbing, program opening. Everything. A couple of my friends were debating the issue as well and he didn't think it was worth the money, but when he got to try it out he said it was such a noticeable increase. Currently I have 2x5770 Phenom II 970 and a really shitty hard drive. I feel its a noticeable bottle neck on my computer. The reason I have a 5900 RPM Hard drive is because I capped my spending while building and just threw in whatever drive I had lying around.
