Quote:
Sure enough, the prices VR-Zone quoted last week seem to be largely in effect at Newegg. 180GB, 120GB, and 60GB variants of the 330 Series SSD are down to $159.99, $109.99, and $69.99, respectively. (VR-Zone predicted cuts to $154, $104, and $69, numbers which I expect might apply to bulk orders.)

The same goes for the SandForce-powered 520 Series. I see Newegg charges $104.99 for the 60GB model, $149.99 for 120GB, $209.99 for 180GB, $269.99 for 240GB, and $519.99 for 480GB. Bare, "OEM" versions of those same SSDs are available at slightly lower prices.

That's a scarily good price, yeah... $69 for an Intel 330? Man I want that. However, the article saying "Same goes for the SandForce-powered 550" makes it sound like the 330 isn't SF-powered, but it is, the 330 is SF228 - it was the 320 that didn't have SF.

Are the intel drives actually better than, say, OCZ or Corsair ones?
I can compare the speeds, obviously, but what about durability?

OCZ follows.

64GB: 75 EUR (from 110)
128GB: 110 EUR (from 170)
256GB: 205 EUR (from 300)
512GB: 500 EUR (from 700)

The 512 GB is still a little pricy, but the top 3 are all well under 1 EUR/GB (the 64GB isn't) and these are some pretty hefty slashes. Yay for NAND prices dropping \o/


Edit: Samsung has as well. The 830 series is now substantially cheaper than even V4's, let alone Intel's 520. Between 65 and 75 cents per GB.

I don't think the flood was ever the reason for the prices of SSD. HDD yes, SSD nope. But don't take my word on it, I think Paul said it before.

Bit of a failed attempt at sarcasm from Sin, had this been about mechanical HDDs it would've fit because like you said, SSDs were never affected by it. NAND prices were just high and as technology gets better, NAND gets cheaper to produce Smile

Currently have a Crucial M4 and doing fine. Will wait for price cuta on 500 +gb models before upgrading. I dunno but going from 128 to 256 just doesn't seem enough of an upgrade for the $$$. Yeah i know its double but still. Maybe thats just me Razz

As far as I can remember, OCUK ship worldwide ... but I don't know the price. I don't think they mark as gift either, so you may get hit with import taxes, or you may not.

Yup. International shipping.

Went back with one of my Vertex 2 60 GB's today (it just died out of the blue, not even detected by the BIOS anymore). Awesome retailer is awesome, they replaced it with a Vertex 4 128 GB, that's how much SSDs have dropped in price Neutral
