newegg black friday sales.. intel x25m 120gb going for 199usd.. with 35usd mail in rebate.. too bad we cant get the rebate or i might get one..

199 USD isn't that good of a deal if there's no rebate, considering shipping cost and GST, it's already more or less 300 sgd.

But warranty and RMA is a bit tricky.

We did a comparison before, and concluded that Intel is probably the only brand of SSD where local price is comparable to overseas.

If you want to buy online, should check out brands like OCZ, G skill, Crucial etc where the price difference is huge. So probably is due to different distributor?

intel x25m 120gb is worth buying.. comes with free game.. will most likely cost around $300.. about 10% discount from sg shops..

Free game? What game huh? I thinking of getting C300 coz my mainboard can support Sata 6GB/S.

Interesting discussion - Best 120GB SSD?

There are basically three groups of popular 120GB SSDs
1. Intel X25M 120GB - slow but steady
2. Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB
3. SandForce based SSDs Corsair Force, OCZ Vertex 2, OCZ Agility 2, OWC Mercury Extreme Pro, Patriot Inferno, G.SKILL Phoenix Pro, etc

hi i'm a newbie to all of these ssds but really i want to get one cos my os will start up faster.

i see that number 3 is all grouped together as sandforce. What does that mean? sorry.



whichtype of ssd is the fastest? I'm looking at ocz and gskill.

SandForce SF-1200 SSD Processors are used in the SSDs.

Not sure if this has been asked before:

Should we defrag our SSD?

i think it's because there's too much competition.
