[us]Kingston ssd

[slenderman379]

I'm about to buy this ssd.

Says 250$ off. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-Adapter-SV300S37A-240G/dp/B00A1ZTZNM/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1404228729&sr=1-2&keywords=Ssd

I'm very tempted but something seems fishy.

I'll wait for some one to warn me if there's something screwed up with this.

If no negative replies within 3 hours.. I'm buying this.

That's the price they are going for. The $250 off just means it is $250 less than what it was when they first started selling it, it's done to make you think you're getting a good deal. And it is from amazon, you rarely have a concern when ordering from there.

They switched the controller to a cheapass one.

Yeah, Kingston kinda pulled a bait and switch with their SSDs.

 

Still, that's not even the cheapest SSD you could get at that capacity - here's a cheaper one for you: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct256mx100ssd1 Plus, it'll likely be faster than that Kingston one.

Yea, don't get that. You can get a Samsung EVO for $10 more (sometimes less than that if on sale) and it is faster and more reliable.

If Microcenter is closer to you they have it cheaper

This is the hundredth thread in the Hot Deals section for the V300. Can we get an announcement at the top of this subforum telling people to stop posting about this. It's not a deal. Amazon base prices are over-inflated and the sales are lies.
