    I ordered one its on its way.
    I will self review and if its good ill order all of them and sell them on ebay.

    Already sold out sorry.
    But its the thought that counts right?
    480 gb for 99 still available.

    Damn! Wish I had seen this sooner. I would have jumped on a couple of them.

    edit: Ahh, it's a refurb SSD, not new. But still for a high capacity SSD, it's a rock bottom price.

    The m500 960 gb was the 2nd 1 tb ssd to reach the market.
    It is slower than a samsung 840 1tb.
    It is much more reliable.

    Its going in my brand new aorus x5. Turning it into an all ssd machine right from the get go.
    That ghetto hdd stuff will not even touch my new laptop

    Nevermind they cancelled my order. Somethibg sketchy about the whole thing

    Thanks, I think I just snagged the last one because they're sold out right after I ordered one.

    So it still hasn't shipped even though it's been almost a month since I purchased.
