      Which will increase the value of your netbook right away!

        You're silly, I just need more gigabytes to store my linux ISOs.

  • FabMan_UK on 26/01/2012 - 20:34

    I don't imagine I could justify this, to myself.

  • aeon on 26/01/2012 - 20:51

    Great price… hopefully they keep coming down!

  • Elijha on 26/01/2012 - 21:32

    even the 256GB version of this drive is quite reasonably priced right now without a discount. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/768803-REG/Crucial_Tec…

  • Bob81 on 26/01/2012 - 21:41

    Same dollar for dollar price as the 128GB version from Amazon.

    • Elijha on 26/01/2012 - 21:48

      Wha? How do you work that out the 128 M4 is $179 … how is that the same as anything else mention on this page?

    • FabMan_UK on 27/01/2012 - 09:25

      Actually byte per dollar, if Elijha is correct, this is a better deal than the 128Gb.

    Expect 1 dollar per gig toward the end of this year, yeah ~~

    • nicksnoobie on 26/01/2012 - 22:47

      Hopefully. Last year was almost $2/gb

    • parker2004au on 26/01/2012 - 23:45

      Hopefully I wouldn't mind getting a SSD for my PC, though minus my /users/ folder in my operating systems drive, I just can't see myself using more then 100GB, I'm at 52gb at the moment and got a fair few programs installed.

      • grox on 27/01/2012 - 12:05

        Storage space always gets filled… it's some kind of law ;(

  • lakers1222 on 27/01/2012 - 00:04

    Thanks OP

  • jtb on 27/01/2012 - 01:03

    How do you get that price protecon? It's $659.95+$35.26 for UPS Worldwide Expedited to Australia.

    oops - just realised you're showing the AU conversion not US…

    • protecon on 27/01/2012 - 01:27

      Correct - this is what I was charged for after shipping and conversion.

  • dvddirect on 27/01/2012 - 11:03

    Good deal indeed! Paid $700 a few weeks back direct from Crucial. I had to do the firmware upgrade which was pretty painless. Great drive.

    • protecon on 27/01/2012 - 16:39

      Worth doing the firmware so early? Only affects drives after 5000 hours or so.
      Think I'll wait until I'm closer to that sort of usage - will probably be a newer update by then.

  • NETBEAR on 27/01/2012 - 11:50

    wow, wish if i had $700 lying around

    • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 11:53

      Go to the ATM, withdraw $700, go home, throw it around the bedroom. Viola, you now have $700 lying around :D

    This deal isnt so great… unless you need the space but dont mind having a "SLOWER" SSD…

    This drive here is almost twice as fast.
    Corsair Force Series GT 240GB SSD
    http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c…

    Read: 555MB/sec
    Write: 525 MB/sec
    VS
    Read: 500MB/sec
    Write: 260 MB/sec

    on the Crucial M4 512GB SSD

    And this one is great value
    Corsair Force Series 3 240GB SSD $395.00 - again almost twice as fast.

      Those numbers are with highly compressible data (Corsair loves to inflate their numbers), so in reality, you may or may not get that kinda performance while paying ~27% more ($/GB).

      People here also seem to have a tendency to prefer Intel/Crucial SSDs since they don't run on Sandforce controllers.

        SandForce SF-2281 have twice the write speeds and 25% more the read.

        The Crucial M4 512GB SSD is "NOT" a SandForce SSD.

        Worlds fastest SSD's are all SandForce based and every single review proves this. ( not only on compressed files but in everything )

        This Crucial M4 SSD is only comparable to the older generation SandForce drives.
        thats it, get your facts correct befor posting please

        Review SandForce SF-2281 twice as fast! - http://www.storagereview.com/crucial_m4_ssd_review_256gb

  • T1OOO on 27/01/2012 - 16:07
