That's gonna get sold out within an hour or two. I love my Crucial M4!

They're ok, but still kind of crud compared to some, like the mushkin chronos mx/dx which have been able to be had at similar price point lately.

Perhaps a little slower than the SandForce based drives (like the Mushkin) but I'm not going near SandForce for a good long while.

BTW - these might last at this price for a while, BeachCamera also has them at $129 through Amazon and their own site.

Owned a Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe since November. Zero issues with it so far. A few of my friends have the same drive (bought it off recommendations from them) and none of them have encountered any issues either.

BTW, wasn't an article out earlier this week about the top brands (Crucial, Kingston, etc) lowering their prices to create a price war and drive out the lower-end companies? If I find the article, I'll link it.

the prices on ssds have been coming down a lot the last few months.

If you live in the Baltimore area, the Best Buy located in Downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor is going out of business.
Everything there is on discount, I got a normally $99.99 32 GB Vita Memory card for $69.99.

Some items have additional discounts off the sticker price, like I saw all PC games are 30% off there sticker price.

Nice find, I got my Crucial 128GB SSD for a similar price ($128.99) on Newegg, but with your gift certificate you ended up spending less than me

I also notice HDD prices are going back down. HDD jumped a little more than a year ago when Western Digital lost a production plant to floods in Thailand. WD's production got wiped out, and other HDD makers raised prices as a response to increased demand and fewer available drives on the market. I think from a combination of SSD technology becoming cheaper to manufacture, and the drop in HDD prices

I've got two of these, a 256GB and a 128GB, and they are by far my favorite SSDs. I got the 256GB a year ago for around $360 and I jacked the 128GB off Newegg earlier this year at $128 (how sick was that promo? it was retailing for ~$180 everywhere at the time).

These went down to 99$ with free shipping from new egg last week for a day. Mine arrived and works great in the wife's notebook.

Another price drop from buy.com and amazon. I think this is the lowest I've seen so far at $100 shipped, and shave off another $5 if you're a new customer (aka make a new email

). Amazon is a sneaky one. A few hours ago, I checked right before posting this and it was at $125. It seems like every time a retailer drops their price way down, amazon also temporarily does the same to be near there. Currently at $109.99 at the time of writing this post. A tad higher, but perhaps a better choice if you consider tax, prime membership, or retailer reputation:

$99.99 shipped @ buy.com
$109.99 shipped @ amazon

If it's only one item, I can order it from any US stores at forward it to you if you want. Shipping should be around $5-10 for the international shipping.

Mine is on it's way.

This wasn't such a great find unless I'm missing something.

Nope, no catch or price mistake since the past week or two these crucial M4's price has been dropping like crazy.

DanGWanG · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 14 May 2012, 09:10:51 »

Now $100 on Buy.com: http://slickdeals.net/f/4378610-Crucial-M4-128GB-2-5-SATA-III-Solid-State-Drive-SSD-99-Free-Shipping

Patiently waiting for the 256GB =)

Edit: Just realized WhiteFireDragon also posted it!

256GB m4 at CircuitCity and TigerDirect for $200. Go to CircuitCity with your cache flushed and get a $10 offer to sign up for their email spam.
