Saw a deal on woot and it  actually looks like all of the Crucial SSD's are a pretty good price right now.

I'm not seeing the great prices? These all look pretty standard to me. . .

Not sure what the lure is, I paid about $99 for my 64 GB M4.

Good link though, I was looking to get something with a bit more capacity.

This morning they were 64GB @ $65 | 128GB @ $130 and 256GB @ $280   The 256GB is still at that price.  That would be the lure  :)

Okay, well THOSE prices would have been something special.

Basically a suprise firesale, and everything is back to normal now? Bummer. Not that I NEED  a new HDD, my OCZ Agility 3 120GB is still working fine.

Are you ****ing kidding? Stupid email subscription I have with Newegg is worthless if it doesn't notify me of THAT.

Word, not that I read emails that aren't strictly linked with work on anything other than a semi-weekly basis.

That's terrible. At least put your OS on it.

My 128GB M4 has Gentoo, and then a Win7 VM on top of that... the most obvious speed kick is when I search my 5GB email pile.
