So I pre-ordered the 500GB Evo from Newegg and the site said it'd be available on the 14th, but then on the 14th it said out of stock with an ETA of the 19th (today). But now it's out of stock again. I can't tell if there are just that many pre-orders or if Newegg isn't actually being supplied any units so they keep bumping the ETA out.
I have no clue when they'll actually get any in stock, which sucks since it's the last component I'm waiting for do to my build.
Not everybody is a gamer. I think most non-gaming people have several hundred GB of personal photos, vacation movies and that sort of things. They definitely need space, but for those people a 1 TB EVO would make no sense, just stick to a WD Green or similar. However, this group of people tend to rely on laptops, and you have a hard time using multiple drives in those, so a large SSD is the way to go if you can afford it and do not want the hassle of external HDDs.
Personally I want as large SSD as possible for professional reasons. I move ~1 TB a day, and I know that sticking my files on an SSD makes my postprocessing 3 times faster, so there is some real productivity gains to be made in my case.
I just ordered mine along with my new Haswell rig to replace the system in my sig. w00t.
IMHO once you've used a ssd you won't want a spinner and the prices keep falling all the time as newer models hit the market.
I had no idea Dabs had an offer on. I've only bought the 120GB version anyway.Enter code: BTS30 at checkout

I normally use scan and ebuyer too. Haven't used dabs in ages but thought it was worth a punt. Mine didn't arrive today. Free delivery via Royal Mail, so not too worried. Hopefully tomorrow.
Got my Evo 750GB installed. Finally manned up and stuck Windows 8 on my other drive. I kind of like it.
I'm using the Evo purely as a games drive so I was slightly annoyed I've only got 698GB of free space. I've lost 52GB straight off the bat.
Oh well.
Where can I get a $50 1TB HDD?
You can't. The entire post made no sense.Where can I get a $50 1TB HDD?
