Here is Anand's review of the drive:

I also posted this to see what people think. I have been debating between this drive, the Samsung 840 Evo 500GB, and the San Disk Extreme II 480. Mine is going to be in a desktop.

Even without the rebate it's still 220!

However, this versus the evo. Pros and cons? I wondering what Anand would say about it. Idle power isn't an issue with desktops.

I got this drive for $230 a few months ago, been using it as my main OS drive since I got it, very good drive for the price.

 

[lazarus000]

i couldn't resist, more money on stuff i don't really need. lol

Not buying. Been spending too much and not only every single one of my computers already has SSD, I still have one 830 SSD left over.

Good deal though!

I was referring more to the price point. He raves about the Evo in its review (which came after the Seagate 600 review).

I bit. Even if I've stopped using my desktop much, this deal crosses the threshold.

 

[Avalon]

It's about on par with the Evo. I've got the 240GB version, great drive.

It's now $220 and still a pretty good deal without the MIR. Should I bite on this or hope for better deals during Memorial day weekend?

If you miss the complete deal then i think you should just wait.

Prices are trending downward

They have been, even since BF, yes. We'll see the end is near when new product lines arrive. Crucial released its M550 already... Although I just checked Amazon and the price on the 480gb M500 is down to $220! Nice.

It's now down to $205 after coupon, no rebate!
