    Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2CCA 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Transfer Kit - $399.99, Sale $309.99 with free shipping
    **Those that have Shoprunner, this qualifies for Free 2 Day shipping : )

    I would expect Amazon to PM fairly soon (sitting at $314.99), but doesn't include Transfer Kit..

    Edit: Amazon did pretty much PM, for their Lightning Deals today (2/19) and like said doesn't include the Transfer Kit. It's $310.99 and free shipping until 10AM PST (or when the Lightning Deal sells out).

    This is an excellent deal and a nice bonus if you need the transfer cable.

    That is an amazing deal, just wish they shipped to Norway. Approximately, $310 was what I've paid for my M4 128GB, in Norway. It was 25% off.

    By the way Cin, I love your cat :)

    Is it likely we'll see a better deal before the end of May or so (looking at this for a new Clevo)?

    Well the prices are always dropping, but it depends on the stock.

    :D Yeah that's Dweezil the Destroyer. He really wouldn't eat you...just me. He loves everyone else (and unfortunately most love him), and plot's all the time at his ways of offing me.. :eek:

    NP :) Seeing lot's of deals on the M4 pop up everywhere. The 128GB is $144.99 at jr.com right now. Use this code: PRESDAY, and it has free shipping!

    Looks like Amazon pretty much PM'd this deal w/out the Transfer Kit though, it's part of their Lightning Deals til 10am PST (or til it sells out) for $310.99 and free ship: Not bad for those that have Sales Tax w/Newegg in their state. : )

    Yeah I think the deals will continue! : )

    I do not have family, but I do have friends in US. But I think I'll have to skip this one actually, and wait for a good set of 16GB 1600Mhz RAM kit.


    My 128GB M4 is doing more then good for now...
