En Amazon tambien esta MAS, caro…

Por cierto ya no se puede recoger en tienda en la Alternancia, solo envian y el envio normal cuesta 8,99 €, yo soy de Madrid y aunque no me venia bien la tienda, pero me ahorraba esos 9 €, para tomar unas

Estoy pensando en pillar el Mushkin Chronos de 180 Gb, por 137 €, no es mal precio.??

Si que es una putada, yo trabajo por esa zona de Madrid y a la hora de comer me daba tiempo a acercarme a por lo que fuera, y ahora… me da lo mismo pedirlo ahí, que a PCComponentes que al que sea.

On Amazon, you have the Crucial CT256M4SSD2, for 165 €, I think it's a very good price..??

P.D. In general, I think that in all stores the M4 has gone down, if not, look at Alternancia, PCCompon…

It's very good. Just now I saw it at 180 and I would have considered going for the 840 Pro for 20 euros more, although personally I would have picked M4 128GB but, at that price the M4 256 is quite tempting :sisi:

If I'm tempted this weekend to order it from Amazon, I've already bought and they are quite serious about these things... besides, the shipping costs are cheap: 2,99 € (shipping 3-5 days).

PD. It seems that it has compatibility problems with new boards with BIOS UEFI, in this case it's not my problem since I'm still using my C2D E8400..

I think you are referring to the issue with the previous firm, as far as I know there is no problem with either 000F or the latest one.

I don't know if they have solved the problem with a firm.?? I suppose that if Crucial has excellent technical support, especially in memories…

I am now using a Velociraptor of 150 gb, with Sata 2, will I notice the difference with an SSD even if it is to SATA 2 compared to the Raptor..??

[Obione]

Yes, I do.

I am with a 2 TB Black Caviar that performs similar to your Raptor and I tried a laptop with SSD at a friend's house and I was left with this face :ugly: so yes it is worth it even if it only performs as SATA 2. They sell PCI Express cards so you can use it as SATA 3, but they are around or exceed 30 € and it's an extra expense…

The truth is that I think it is worth it, and today I think it is the component that I would install first of all in computers that are a few years old like yours or mine.

No matter how powerful a current computer is, the installation of an SSD is the one that definitely marks a big leap in quality. And this is noticeable a lot on a desktop, but on a laptop it is even more worth it.

I will hold on with my conventional disks probably all of 2013 because the truth is, for the use I give to the computer an SSD would be more of a whim than a necessity, so for now I save that.

Anyway, I'll probably stick with my conventional drives throughout 2013 because, honestly, for the use I give to the computer, an SSD would be more of a luxury than a necessity, so I'll save that for now.

Honestly, I don't need it, so maybe I'll wait a little longer, especially knowing that they're getting cheaper every day, in a few months the price will be noticeable..
