Use code EMCNENJ49 to get this price.

I put in 5 of these models this week and all users were thrilled with their "new" computers. Fantastic SSD and a decent price.

These drives are FAST!

Any reason why you selected that over the OWC which is essentially the same price($10 difference)?

Either one is perfectly fine. I buy both and have similar, great results.

Some people prefer one or another; I am just passing on what is a good deal for some.

Chris,,

Free shipping from newegg. Only saves another $5 to $10 but if $$$ is the deciding factor it could make the difference. I'm getting very tempted by all of these solid deals on the SSDs. Very tempted! Still, the price per is still too high for my wallet. Grrr!

Curious as to what criteria you used to select this model for your clients- thanks.

If you need one now, these are good prices. There have been rumblings this week that these prices will plummet. This drive about 1 month ago was $350+.

Give it 2 months and the very good drives may be in the $200 range.

Speed mostly, and that people who know a TON about SSDs think this one is top grade (I think we had that discussion before).

There are a LOT of SSDs that would fit the bill, I just am following the recommendations from others.
