In the market for an SSD for my failing HDD.
Intel 520 or Crucial M4.
A pity Amazon don't ship the M4s to oz now :(
Anyhow, looking for a good price :)

An intel deal would be nice about now … =)
Still no deals on these :( $184 from MSY at the moment.
There's gotta be a rep out there reading this :P
I think you may have seen my comment here:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/58760#comment-813162I'm a big fan of the new Intel 520 SSD's. Sandforce chips with Intel warranty and reliability.
120GB:

http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=SSDSC2CW240…I don't see any super duper special prices, however I have noticed the price of the 240's have come down recently and also present the best cost per a GB compared to the smaller drives.
Waiting for a sweet spot deal on the Intel 520 120gb atm. Been a while since the last one T_T.
Is the 120gb you linked there the same as the one from MSY here -> http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=8641 ?
Yep, if it's the retail box version then it is the same.
HDD died last night =(. Weekend deal for my dollars? =)
I just bought a new laptop and would love a good price on an SSD, specifically an Intel 520 120gb. Help us out! :)
Seems like prices have gone up quite a few dollars since I posted this.
Still looking! No deals on the Intel 520s since…

In saying that, I ordered the 256gb m4 from amazon. Can't go wrong with more space.
