Taken from SD, these are some killer SSD deals. When you checkout, use paypal because the card inputs did not work for me. The site is getting hammered, so be patient.

Can you trust a recertified SSD?

 

[TurtleCrusher]

My recertified 80GB OCZ Vertex 2 in my desktop has been perfect for the past 1.5 years, no SMART errors at all, and the reviews on the earlier firmwares were horrid. The only thing you can refurbish in an SSD is the outer shell or firmware, and most likely on this it was the firmware as well.

Thanks OP, in 4 2 256Gb. Site is HAMMERED, but eventually got through and used PP. One note it says I will get an email when order goes to Crucial, which doesn't sound good. No worries, created crucial acct and it shows order receivedd, and 3 yrs warranty for signing up.

 

[Charlie98]

Man, that's tempting...

 

[TurtleCrusher]

I just got a single 128GB to replace the 80GB in the desktop(SATA 3!) so the 80GB can go into my laptop. The Dell Studio 1737 has two HDD bays so I'll have an OS boot SSD and a 250Gb storage HDD.

I picked up two 256 drives earlier. Literally took an hour with how slammed the site was. One will be an additional Xbox drive, the other a Steam drive. I've never had an issue with my M4's, but with these being recertified, they'll serve as game drives only.

Got my order for two 256GB drives right before they all sold out, they are now all out of stock for all sizes.

That's an awesome deal, I missed out on it. The thing I like about a 'recertified' ssd is that there really aren't any mechanical moving parts, so odds are they are just updating the firmware or fixing a cracked outside cover. Either way, it works fine and costs me a lot less than it otherwise would.

 

[mikeford]

I just hope sold out happened at an accurate time reflecting actual inventory.

Did you get a shipping confirmation yet?

 

[hendermd]

My order was at 11:51 pm and they were out of stock when I posted here this morning a half hour later, checking the order status shows that is is completed.

[Xtrem]

[slugg]

Sold out. Damn, I couldn't even get one. Woulda been nice.

 

[Cardio]

Had a lot of Crucial recertified and never a problem with any.

 

[holden j caufield]

doh got to check this forum more often.

 

[chimaxi83]

Just got an email saying that due to increased demand, my order is now on hold.

 

[krnmastersgt]

I love my M4's, wish they still had more in stock

 

[SunRey]

Thank You!

Those of you who said yours was cancelled, you didn't get a shipping confirmation, right?

 

[ksheets]

No shipping confirmation and my order was canceled as well...

 

[mikeford]

Canceled, no shipping.

 

[chimaxi83]

Here's my email, not necessarily canceled. We'll see.
