    why am I still awake...

    the 3570K retail boxed chip has dropped from 235e to 212e on HWVS, making it the same price as the tray.

    SSD prices are dropping because the bigger companies are trying to force the smaller players out of the market. Not so good for the long term, but it does mean ridiculously low prices for now:

    According to their T&C it is not all purchases, only the following:
    SSD: MZ-7PC256D/EU (250GB), MZ-7PC512D/EU (512GB), MZ-7PC256N/EU (256GB), MZ-7PC512N/EU (256GB), MZ-7PC256B/WW, MZ-7PC512B/WW

    Ah it only covers the 256GB and 512GB SSDs then. Still, pretty good if you want to get one.

    Took me a while to figure out where that quote came from. /slow

    shamelessly stolen from settings thread,

    Crucial m4 128gb for £89 (plus a bit of Irish tax) so around €112 delivered.

    www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004W2JKZI/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1

    Kind of annoyed at this sort of thing, TBH. Bought mine less than a month ago for €160. Bah!

    Well, time to upgrade to a 512GB drive! :P

    I'm really annoyed myself. I bought a Samsung 830 a few weeks back for 160, thinking it was worth the small premium over the m4. had I bought the m4 for €20 less, I would definitely have bought this now for a killer raid0 setup for very reasonable money. I assume you cant mix drives in a raid array without some chance of error due to very different drive speeds?

    I think it is fine but you are limited to the worse of the two drives speedwise. I believe if you put them both in raid you wouldnt notice a difference in speed and should just have them separate?

    FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU...

    Won't be getting that for a while. Hopefully we'll have sub-€350 512GB drives by the end of the year. I don't think that's unreasonable at all, given current trends.

    256GB model is only about €210 now as well. It's ridiculous (but great for anyone buying a new drive).

    Heh, you and me both. I'm really hoping for a 768GB SSD soon. Hopefully they'll get made, and not just right to 1TB.

    i know that 1tb OSZ announced, but its price is just idiotic at best. 3k $ so it would be around 3k eu when it lands here with EU vats and eu rip off exchange rates.

    so what can you do instead with 3k? buy a mobo for 500eu which was 5 million sata connections, then buy 5x512gb crucial m4s and get 2.5tb ssd+ bad ass mobo.

    They do ship here but the free delivery offers are UK only. Also shipping prices are pretty terrible:
    • Eire
      Deliveries to Eire are charged at £26.95 for up to 5 kg. For parcels weighing above 5 kg, there is an additional charge of £2.30 per kg.
