SSD Price Discussion - Page 5

Raptor_Eye · 27th February 2012, 8:23 PM

just bought one as well. indeed had the camelback thing watching and got the notification as soon as the price dropped.

as for amazon warranty, i've never had any experience, but i did have to send some ram a few years back directly to crucial i think the turn around was 2 weeks from me shipping to getting the new stuff back.

i'd say thats pretty darn good.

I seriously don't get why Amazon pricing fluctuates so much? Maybe they're doing price testing??

Azrael · 29th February 2012, 1:00 PM

Anyone reckon it will be lower by tonight?

Hughesey · 29th February 2012, 2:40 PM

Who knows! Amazon clearly don't because the 128GB is now back to $164.99!

rdamage · 29th February 2012, 4:21 PM

Run it in AHCI mode btw

Crap I forgot to enable ACHI when installing windows. Big deal? Can I do it now?

Edit: Switched to ACHI, no real-world difference noted but figures are higher. especially in the 4-64 section, whatever the hell that is?

If no can the firmware be updated once you put the OS on?
