OCZ Summit 60GB $129.99 AR - Newegg

Shell shocker deal this morning for people looking to get SSD. $159.99 without rebate is still a great price.

<strike> LINK</strike>...the "shocker" is over but the price didn't change, lol. New LINK.

 

This is a good deal.. I hope someone was able to take advantage of it!


Cin...

 

Just to point out, the $30 rebate is a Prepaid Visa card not a check/cash.

Actually looks like you can request a check if you call Visa.

 

Thanks for the tip Mandrake, been in the market for SSD, just on the fence about price. $129+free shipping and no tax was too much to pass up.

 

I'm really on the fence - I want one for my desktop, just not positive if this one is good enough.

 

You can also take the card to a local bank and they should be able to cash it for you.

I got a $50 prepaid Vista debit card a few months ago; I brought it to Bank of America and they cashed it for me, no questions asked.

 

Been reading the OCZ ssd forum and it appears the Summit series ssd uses a Samsung controller. Samsung is yet to issue firmware updates to address degradation issues. Samsung says it will have firmware by the time Windows 7 is released. Users of the Summit series are reporting performance degradation to levels in the 20mb/s range.

 

Must not be the same controller that is in my 256GB model.

Here's another good SSD deal if you don't like the OCZ. LINK

 

You have the Vertex series with Indilinx controller?

I already bought the OSZ Summit and not particularly worried about the firmware update as they said it would be forthcoming prior to Win7 release. Already shipped too!

 

No I have the Samsung PB22-J which has a Samsung controller. When Dell was selling the 256GB drive for $479 that was by far the best price/performance ratio out there.

 

From what I've been reading the larger capacity ssd's are not having the degradation issues as rapidly as the 60-80gb models.

 

SOLD OUT 10char

 

This was potentially a good deal for a certain sect of people. But if you missed this deal dont sweat it as I am pretty sure we are going to see lower prices and higher performance on the SSD market very soon.

 

and at the price listed it's not even worth it.

 

DEACTIVATED ITEM Can't write a review about what a dud it is either since it has been deactivated. Limited replacement only--no returns.



My 320gb 7200rpm hitachi performs better than this pos.

 

OK, I fixed it thank goodness. Had to go into device manager and uninstall Nvidia atapi ata controller, check box, delete drivers after a couple reboots microsofts ata default drivers installed. Now it's working.

 

Nice man, looks like it was a good deal at 130 huh?

 

I think so for the time being.

 

Ello, was wondering if anyone had the link or pdf for the rebate? Any help would be great, thanks.

**thank you. got it
