    I picked up 2 of them for $120 each plus tax which brought it up to $240 plus tax. I applied a $30 off coupon after the sale since I did not have one during order pickup. I got the coupon for $2 and wish I would have ordered both drives seperate so I can apply a $25 off coupon on each drive and get it for $95 + tax. I ended up getting each drive for $105 + tax = $113.xx and hopefully get some 5% cashback on the purchase via discover or mr rebates. SLICK SLICK DEAL and feel sorry for all the noobs who pay retail or worse pay the manufacturer to upgrade the drives.


    edit: WOOOT WOOOOT. Imagine a raid setup for the sata III SSD in the M18x.....MWAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

    Yeah you can actually come out paying less than $200 for both if you do it correctly. I would have used the $25 off $75 or even $25 of $100 from staples coupon brinkster on google and then apply the $25 off to each drive on seperate transactions. I did a chat after my order 24 hours later once I got the code and had the rep apply $30 off $150 since I put both drives on 1 order. Seperate orders and 2 coupons with 5% cashback is the current best for 240gb at 555 MB/s

    Just received both my 240gb SSD from staples and had no issues securing my inventory. This was a legit deal and probably the slick deal of the year once you stack on coupons and cashback. Keep on dreaming for black friday and waiting for the next best deal. Buy first and think later is always the motto.

    that's an amazing deal. below 0.5$ per gb. average price is 0.78$. basically 400$ for 512gb vs 256$ with this crazy deal.
    I'm never fast enough to get these :(
