I always see them for a few dollars more than they have GBs. Could be that this specific drive is just the lowest end and not on offer at a lot of places. Not looked at scorptech for ages and I rarely use MSY site as it's a bit horrible. -------------------- Reality is just an illusion brought on by a lack of alcohol.

Even reasonably high end drives are getting cheap. Seriously tempted to get a Sandisk 480 gig now they're down to about $440

However, a post on the site and I had tech support taking me through the steps required to fix the problem. Same here. My Agility3 has been flawless since it was installed. But I suppose there has to be a few good stories among all the bad. Thought about updating the firmware to 2.22, but might hold it off a little longer. Some people seem to have had some issues with it. But for anyone looking at an SSD, I think these would be great so long as you're not looking for something at the pointy end of the speed scale. QUOTE (.:Cyb3rGlitch:. @ Aug 2 2012, 10:08 PM) Interesting link. Although they are all old models. I doubt the new (3/4) ones would be that bad.

I wouldn't care how cheap they are; With a >10% chance of failing I'd avoid the Octane's like the plague.
If you want a cheap SSD with a respectable failure rate (<%3) I'd start here: http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/view/Massive_SSD_Sale -------------------- Main rig - CPU: Core-i7 3820 / Mobo: MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) / RAM: Patriot Viper Xtreme Div.2 PXD38G1866ELK 8G Kit(4GBx2) DDR3 1866 / GPU: Powercolor HD7970 / Storage: Sandisk Extreme 240GB SSD / Audio: Audio Engine D1 DAC + 5+ stereo speakers / Case: Coolermaster Storm Scout / Monitor: Viewsonic VX2268wm
