Intel X25-M 120GB Back on Sale at Newegg: $170AR - $25GC

[NYHoustonman]

Hey all,

Got this in my e-mail overnight. Including the $25 gift card ($200 purchase) this is actually a better deal than what was offered on Black Friday...

$145 (if you count the GC) for 120GB is pretty damned good, and the drive has the same performance as the 160GB model.

I was about to check out with this exact drive and a copy of Windows 7, but decided to check these forums before hitting confirm. Now I've split the order and will apply the $25 to Windows when I get the gift card, thanks for the find. :biggrin:

$1.21 / GB, woot

I wish these things were a bit cheaper, then id switch to SSD and retire my vraptor : / Cant wait till SSD's hit the $100 range.

Does anyone know if it's possible to clone/transfer an existing SSD boot drive (Intel X25-M 40GB) to this larger drive, without any performance degradation? I know I read some stuff about it being a bad idea to go from platter drive to SSD (fresh install is best), but can I go from SSD to SSD? What I am trying to accomplish is upgrading my current boot drive.

They took a 160gb G2 and 80gb G2, cut each in half and put them back together to make this drive. Performance will be somewhere in the middle.
