  I was thinking of buying this but instead went with the WD Velociraptor 500GB HDD from PCCG. Needed the extra space for my iTunes tv show & movie collection plus Steam games. 128GB SSD is just too small and to buy a 500GB SSD is not economical. Sure a Velociraptor isn't as fast as SSD but still hell fast.

      More like comparing a person with 2 broken legs to Usain Bolt in a 100m race.

        Sure SSD is a lot faster but it's also several times more expensive per GB compared to the WD Velociraptor HDD. I look forward to when a 500GB SSD is around $150 but seems a long time off yet.

        But speaking of SSD the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD is only an extra $6 for $145 at MSY. So you've got it from Mwave for $139 + shipping or $145 at your local MSY store. So once you factor in shipping if you must have it shipped from Mwave it actually ends up cheaper at MSY.

        Me, I'd rather pay postage and buy from somewhere other than to line up at MSY . It'll work out quicker and less offensive on the nostrils

        Or, you could of gone the older style setup of a small SSD (ie a kingston V300 60gb for 65) and a storage drive (ie a 1tb Toshiba for 75) still cheaper then your velo

        Yeah but some people want every thing like games etc also to be on the system drive.

        MATTDAMON on 28/03/2013 - 10:47

        But you use a slow drive for the system drive? You can get 500gb SSD's for around 320 bucks these days.

        I've only seen 500GB SSD at Australian PC shops for over $400. Even at $320 would need to fork out over twice as much money compared to a same sized Velociraptor HDD. Honestly most people can't justify paying that much money just for a 500GB drive. Look forward to the day when a 500GB SSD is under $200.

    Isn't as fast? That's rather dramatic understatement isn't it: http://anandtech.com/bench/SSD/65

    In fact, it's not even in the same game, much less league.

      True but well if you can find me a 500GB SSD for $155 please tell. Well you wouldn't because they're at least $400 at a minimum. At the moment the hard drives rule the value of $ per GB since SSD is still priced a bit high for the amount of storage space. For some people need large system drives and SSD is still too dear for it.

  The Samsung 840 250GB SSD is also on the easter sale. Using the EASTERSTORAGE2013 coupon in the cart it brings it down to $185 + postage. This is not the Pro drive though just the standard. For those who want a 250GB SSD.

    You're quoting the standard Samsung 840 128 SSD. What's being sold here is the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD. Totally different drive. PLE has the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD for $169.
