    Today Newegg is offering the Mushkin Reactor 1 TB MLC SSD for $229.99 when you shop with their smartphone app. The promo code should be automatically applied when you add the item to your cart. When checking out the app defaults to their standard 3-business day shipping, which IIRC is $4.99. You need to switch to the super saver option in order to get free shipping.

    It's certainly not the fastest SSD available, but it is the cheapest of its capacity, particularly when you figure the extra savings in this promotion. Mushkin customer service is also quite good. Several years ago, I had one of their Sandforce-based drives, which went bad, and they replaced it without any hassle.

    Edit: If the promo code is not automatically applied to your purchase, enter MBL160108A in the appropriate box at checkout.

    Are you using the Neweg app or their mobile website? I believe the promo only works on the former.

    I wouldnt buy any Mushkin crap in this life time. 3 SSDs went out and they only replace 1. I rather pay some extra and get a used Samsung 850.
