Which one did you pick up?

500GB. my 256GB Indilinx Barefoot SSD i got in 2009 for $800 died in the last month and i needed a replacement. so happy it dropped in price literally the day i had the "christmas gift from parents early for work reasons" budget in hand and ready to go. Im using a 150gb Vraptor right now as my boot and i had to delete the page file entirely (yea i know, i have 16gb of ram though so we're good for now), and i still didn't have enough space for half the production applications and all the specialty metadata for my tracks as well (my traktor library, whatever projects im currently working on in audacity, ect.). Gonna turn the Vraptor in to my audio project scratch drive so the programs only take up a few gigs in total and the metadata and project data can sit on a fast drive but also be backed up to my RAID1 and my file server

LOL okay well that sale's gone now. the 500gb is back up to $339.99, but the 120gb is actually legitimately listed as on sale. Looks like the other drive's prices are all stable still as well, my guess is they snuck it in under the radar so a few enthusiasts who wouldn't have bought it till it hit 299 would get it and over black friday anyone wanting one would be SOL. that or they have something even more awesome planned for cyber monday. Will see, but for now i'm setting my auto-refresh/notification script for reloading and watching sections of pages to watch the HAF Stacker case and it's counterpart modular units since I wanted to get one as well

Polk floorstanding speakers are down from $300 to $100... but you can only buy one?

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 for the 1TB version, but today B&H Camera and NewEgg both have it for $540, so it's possible that NewEgg priced some sizes lower today than they did earlier in the week. (Or maybe DealNews just didn't notice the NewEgg prices?)
