SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB $160 with code: EMCPHPF22 ($10) through Feb 6 (PT).
PNY XLR8 PRO SSD9SC240GCDA-RB 2.5" 240GB $130 after $10 rebate.
My bad! I was looking at the prices for the ~480 GB sizes and only the current NewEgg prices at that. Looking around, prices for ~240GB SSDs are Crucial M500 < Seagate 600 < Samsung Evo < Sandisk Extreme, ATM anyway.
But the first two are about 50% more expensive. I assumed that anyone who would be getting advice from here would fit the article's mainstream category.
I just went for it. My filler was a mop. :) The coupon doesn't seem to be mentioned on the website today, but it was honored during checkout. I got free shipping to my home, probably because I signed up for their rewards program, although that wasn't clear.
Expires at the end or beginning of the day? I assume end, but am not sure. I don't see a date for the duration of the monitor sale.
The idea of having toilet paper shipped to a store just seems weird. Ink should work, but not Epson Ink for some reason. (The small-print page.)
ATM (until midnight PT), NewEgg's Shell Shocker is "Intel NUC Kit DC3217IYR FCBGA1168 Intel QS77 2 x 204Pin Intel HD Graphics 4000 Integrated by CPU" for $240. It's redish with a gold dragon.
Softmart claims to have 15 of the i5 in stock. Supposedly they will get a bunch tomorrow. I have my doubts, but...
Several stores, including TigerDirect, are selling the i3, though.
@HOSED I was just being a hypocrite. "I don't know anything about Adorama Camera." :oops: I've noticed that the Adorama deals sticky is gone now, anyway.
@ctoSiN: According to the chart here, I agree that it is a very good price. The smaller ones have been at lower $/GB prices for short...
"Online eyewear tips, tricks and tidbits" By Debra D. Bass St. Louis Post-Dispatch
That was reprinted in a local (different) newspaper today. I didn't think the first half of that article was worth reading, but I thought the "Tips for Buying Eyewear Online" and "Places to Shop" sections toward...
I bought a different sized Evo from them via eBay. No problems. It shipped in a padded bag, IIRC, but that should be enough.
BTW, note the sticky post at the top of this topic. ;) Actually, I don't know the background behind that, but it's there.
Amazon had it at $79 in a lightning deal, but 100% were taken just before I looked. :(
Supposedly, it doesn't have a SIM slot.
The GSM version is available via Google Play now for $179 and $199.
That's the same code, so it's for more than just the Evo apparently. The 240 GB Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/240G should be $117 + $1 shipping, which would be a very good price, too.
NewEgg's page about the promotion
So if the promotion works too well, they will stop it? I can...
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB for $195 with "mystery" code: EMCYTZT5439. $1 Shipping. Newegg. Expires at 11:59pm PT on 1/14/2014. Dealnews says it was $11 cheaper last month, but I don't see that on the PCpartpicker chart.
But you have only 21 days (not the normal 30 days) to mail the rebate application in. I was burned by that on a different PSU. I should have paid more attention to the small print.
Anyway, I think the sale is over. I'm seeing $55 AR now.
The current NewEgg deal: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series SV300S37A/240G 2.5" 240GB for $130 through Jan. 5. No rebates or codes. That's the lowest price for that one on PCpartpicker's chart.
Are you, nwo and john3850 talking about Intel's Smart Response, or is there something else I should be aware of? (When I read "cached drive", I thought of the hybrid drives.)
FWIW, NewEgg's "Mystery Deal" is the SAMSUNG 840 Pro (MLC) 128 GB drive for $115 with code EMCYTZT5348. That's a good price, but it's a bit of a letdown as a "Mystery Deal". Adorama has it at the same price.
But even there:
There isn't any question that TLC (what the Samsung Evos use) isn't as robust at MLC, but notposting was asking if what's out there now is good enough. I'm thinking it (including the Evos) probably is.
Also, I'm thinking that a few years ago, the problem was the SSDs tended to...
Looking at the price chart for the G3220 at PCPartPicker, I would expect the price to remain at $60 (also at Amazon) for a few more days. (No guarantees if you miss it, though.) That's the typical in-store price at Microcenter, too. It's just a little more at a couple of other places.
But an...
Another way to see the prices is to go to MicroCenter's website's CPU / motherboard bundle pages: Intel Bundles and AMD Bundles. You aren't limited to the four or five motherboards that are shown along side each CPU; any compatible motherboard would get a discount (some bundled LGA 1150...
The price is listed on the CPU / motherboard bundle page. I found out about it in an email, which also has the FX-6300 at $90 and i7 4770K at $250. The i7 4770K was even lower ($200) on Black Friday, but had been at $280. The FX-6300 had been at $110 recently. You get $40 off AMD motherboards...
Heh, I was feeling pretty good that I managed to snap up a 240GB EVO for $140, but now DealNews says that it's available from Buy.com for $120 with a code. Figures!
Thanks slashbinslashbash.
Now it's down again to $300 from $340 (they say $370) at NewEgg, Friday only. The other sizes are marked down, too. The prices at Adorama Camera yesterday (250GB and 500GB) were better, but they aren't available anymore.
Yesterday DealNews said that $550 was the lowest price that they had seen...
"OCZ Vertex 450 128GB Solid State Drive and Total Defense Premium Internet Security Bundle" is the Tigerdirect daily slasher deal. Note: OCZ just went bankrupt. I wonder if Tigerdirect is trying to dump inventory before word gets out. You had better make sure that it's not OCZ who pays the...
I'm not sure I understand this, but it looks like there are great prices currently on Samsung 840 EVO drives. They are sold by Adorama Camera via eBay with free shipping (48 states). EBay lists them on the daily deals page as if it's a one-day price and a Black Friday Doorbuster. Is this a...
The regular November catalog is here or you can download the PDF. There are many more regular bargains there. I assume you can combine the Black Friday prices on CPUs with the November combo markdowns on motherboards. (The Black Friday ad didn't mention very many motherboards.) But I'm getting a...
The best prices tend to require in-store pickup. I originally posted a link to a PDF download, but I could only download the first page of the catalog.
Someone already posted [Microcenter in store only] AMD FX 8320 Black Edition 3.5GHz AM3+ $99 in the Hot Deals section. That's pre-Black Friday...
Sorry! Earlier, they pulled the page when it went out of stock. It definitely shows it in-stock now until you actually try to buy it. :( I already have mine so I didn't go that far.
BTW, I just got an email from them advertising a Refurbished Magellan
RoadMate 2000 for $99, limit 5 with...
Well how about this (it will cost you $10 more): Order online ($199) for in-store pickup. Or just call the store (assuming they answer their phones) and ask them to hold one for you when they come in. A couple of weeks ago they had them on-line for 189, IIRC, but they didn't stay in stock long...
Well, the CM PSU is working, and is quiet. I'm happy for what I got for $10 AR. :)
I also like having MicroCenter nearby. It was even better when I worked for a place that did a lot of business with them -- I got extra discounts that way.
I think the 20% off BYOPC sale is nearly over, but...
Yes, I think it normally is FAT16. The issue is the drive size is too small to benefit from FAT32.
@dNor: You might need to start with at least the F7 BIOS. That's the BIOS that supported the 45nm yorkfields, which are similar to the wolfdales (except number of cores). I think the F7 BIOS for...
BTW, AFAIK, the only difference F6 / F7 has to do with > 1 TB drives. F6 is the one that added support for the 45nm Yorkfield processors (and apparently partial support for the Wolfdale processors).
