    One of Newegg's marketplace sellers has the Crucial M500 960 GB 2.5-inch SSD for $104.99 (plus tax if applicable) shipped. This is a crazy price for what is essentially a 1 TB SSD. Even crazier - it was $95 yesterday. It might be an older drive, but it uses MLC NAND flash, which might be important for some of you.

    That's a great deal.

    I got a kinda low-rent A-DATA SU650 960GB 2.5-inch SSD for a little under $100 about a month ago (just using it for storage, nothing crazy), but would have picked this one up had it been available.

    What's the warranty would be my question.

    If nothing else, you'd have a six month "warranty" through PayPal or something similar with your credit card company. For what it's worth, the unit I received was sealed, albeit not in a box.

    Just FYI to anyone who might be interested, this drive is 9.5 mm tall so it might not fit in some thinner laptops. I have it mounted in my desktop PC so that wasn't a concern.
