    RIP SSD... Looking for some deals

    Currently searching for a new SSD since mine decided to take a dump on me (day 2 of legion, go figure). If anybody knows of any decent deals please let me know. Thinking 250gb, but willing to go with a 120 for now at the right price.

    Thanks

    How long have you had it? been hearing a lot of stories of SSD's going to shit, been thinking of scratching it off my build plan.

    Where have you been hearing these stories?

    I have 4, FOUR, SSDs, and the only SSD I've ever had ANY problems with... was the OCZ Agility 3 I had bought before going Crucial.

    It's Crucial that you have an SSD in any gaming computer you build nowadays. hehehehe...

    Really subtle Deltrus, really subtle.

    For the OP; The bigger size you buy, the more bang for your buck you get usually. Price per GB decreases all the way up to like 2TB.

    Hehe. It's Crucial that I make puns... it's in my blood! I'm destined for a glorious life of dad-joking to a facepalming wife.

    Thankfully price per GB has diminished and the pricing has improved. Remember when it got MORE expensive if you wanted bigger drives, but conversely, they were slower? XD

    I have had the same Patriot SSD since Sandforce controllers came out and it still works like mint. I call bullshit, because most last a really long time, mine is almost 4 years old now.
