****DEAD DEAL****

Gold box deal at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27&tag=tec06d-20

128GB drive for $70, 256GB drive for $155. They have the 64GB version, too, but it only ~$1.50 cheaper than the 128GB drive.

That is a hell of a deal. I heart amazon sometimes.

I paid nearly a $1 a GB for my 830's, I cant wait till these are so cheap a 1TB SSD is more competitive than mechanical.

They are catching up. It will only be a matter of time before mechanical is obsolete.

The ForceGT is faster. I think that must be a typo on amazon still.

I just tried to check for you and could not find the 128 either by that link or by searching amazon. Maybe they ran out.

Is it possible to raid 0 those drives? I thought you could only raid drives with the same model? :confused:
