I dumped my 28 degrees a couple of years ago due to not using it… probably should've kept it!
Either 28 degrees or citibank. Not sure why you would dump when there is no fees?
@anthonettex: A friend of mine used to work in a bank in credit assessment. When applying for a mortgage, the banks take a worst case scenario when assessing your loan application. ie that you have maxxed out the credit limit on all your credit cards. So it does help to either cancel unused credit cards or at least reduce credit limits.
Good timing, just got a refund from ShoppingExpress for $245 for my Crucial M550 they couldn't repair/replace :D
My SanDisk Ultra II 960GB SSD that I bought from Amazon 6 months ago just crashed. No power. Not recognised by my laptop. Not detected by other laptops or software. Now looking for someone who can extract my precious photos.
Surely u had copies of your 'precious' photos on at least two other separate storage devices..
I think easiest way to recover your photos is just re-download them off whatever cloud service you are using to back them up. (Onedrive, iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) as you know online storage is cheap as hell these days and there are often promos giving away large quantities of it.
Although I just found this on Google,

5 December, 2012
In February/March of this year, 2012, I put together 2 PCs from components and installed Windows 7 as the Operating system on both. They are identical except for the amount of RAM and the motherboard/processor combinations. That way the contents on the hard drives in these two PCs’ can easily be backed up to each other. Both PCs also has a 60GB solid state drive where the operating system is installed.
On Dec 1 the PC that has been used a lot every day of the week would not start. It soon became evident that it was as if the solid state drive holding the operating system did not exist. The connecting cable was replaced and connected to another motherboard port but that did not help any. On the evening of the day that the problem was diagnosed, I happened to see an article headed “High heat helps ‘heal’ flash memory chips” at this web address: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20579077. The first few paragraphs grabbed my attention:
->Flash memory is widely used in computers and electronic gadgets because it is fast and remembers data written to it even when unpowered.
However, flash memory reliability suffers significantly after about 10,000 write and read cycles.
Using heat, the researchers have found a way to “heal” flash memory materials to make them last 100 million cycles.
Heat has long been known to help heal degraded materials in old flash memory. But because the heat healing process meant baking the memory chip in an oven at 250C for hours, few saw it as a practical solution.<-
The drive that failed must have experienced more than 10,000 write and read cycles. When the article was noticed and read the solid state drive had already been removed from the PC and Windows 7 had been installed on one of the two partitions of a regular hard drive. The last of these 3 paragraphs suggested putting the solid state drive in the oven. The mounting hardware which had some plastic parts was removed and the little box holding the electronics was placed in the kitchen oven at about 250F, not Celsius degrees as the article suggested, for 4 hours. It was not possible to determine if there was any plastic inside this box so the temperature was kept well below 250C. Plan B was to increase the temperature in the oven.
Much to my surprise, the PC recognized the solid state drive again and the PC could be booted from it. It remains to be seen if it lasts another 10 months. The 100 million write and read cycles in the article referred to memory with a built-in heater. Maybe the solid state drives from both PCs should be taken out every half year and baked for a few hours.
Every disk manufacturer sells these solid state disk drives. It may be that the one that failed did so sooner than most but they can hardly be trusted without a significantly longer useful life.Not good, you'll remember to have a 2nd copy now :(
I have 4 copies of my photos at all times, I use a 5TB Desktop USB drive, a 2TB portable USB drive and crash plan online for backups.
Gl getting your stuff back!
Any warranty or replacement?
Had to pull the trigger!
Wow that's a crazy low price, I remember when the 960gb used to be hovering around $1000 and that was a bargain haha
The longer you wait the cheaper they get with technology
At least until the factories get flooded. Took a long time for mechanical drive prices to recover from the 2011 floods.
Damn was going to try and combine postage with a friend but it's a limit of 1 per customer :(
Pulled the trigger, couldn't resist at $250! Thanks lyl!
Hi
Ordered one , $254 , thanksVote up!
awsome deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally around that $250 mark,
imagine 4tb in raid for about 1k… that is awsome..
hang on, not really, 1k is alot of $$$ lol
And the fact that it's a complete waste of time raiding SSDs when other things will bottleneck before you IOPS will top out…
Performance isn't the only reason people use RAID (or spanned volumes in general), just so you know…
Purchased… Running out of room on my 480gb..
The day I can purchase a 3TB SSD for $200 is the day I get rid of all my HDDs :)
Give it 3-5 years I think.
id give it perhaps 15 years,… in which case we will have 20,30, and 40 TB hard drives, Fiber NBN, and Ultra HD movies.
I doubt it. In 2001 we could buy 128MB flash drives for like $40. Today we can get 128GB flash drives for the same price… That's a 1000x improvement in storage, lol.
I'm not saying we'll see the same for SSDs in 15 years, but there will definitely be a massive change in 15 years time. Might not even be hdds around then.
the first decent SSD on the market in earnest was in 2007/8 and was the intel 80gb x25m , i know coz i paid for one and cost me $850.
that was over 8 years ago,.. it will be alot longer than that before we get 3tb for $200…..
Why is this a lot cheaper compared to Samsung 850 evo 1TB which is about $360 in ebay sales.
Cheaper slower SSD.
How about their reliability? These days with sata SSD, you can barely tell the difference in reality.
I always thought SanDisk were just as reliable as Samsung and Intel.
However, reading the comments on the past few deals has made me question SanDisk reliability.
I've had no disks fail on me from all main manufacturers (Intel, Samsung, Crucial and SanDisk) in the past 5 years. That includes a 6 year old Samsung oem ssd which is still going strong.
Bugger, now it says it cant be sent to Australia…
Will have to (partially) disagree with lowest price ever. Was £139 with at least 10 hours left of 'Deal of the Day'. Is this standard Amazon practice? Not cool Amazon!
$254 for those paying with Australian credit cards (not in GBP).
Thanks OP, just pulled the trigger. Great for those who are in the Victorian Teacher-sphere having to use lame Acer laptops!
