If anyone is looking for the 256GB Crucial M4 SSD, it's on sale at TigerDirect for $179.99 and free shipping. I got mine a few months ago from Amazon and it's been great. Just ordered one from TigerDirect to breath some new life into hubby's late 2008 MBP.

I also have late 2008, do you think SATAIII would work well on that model? I ordered intel320 series 160GB STATII but I can still return it. I wasn't sure if SATAIII SSD would work well on SATAII machine.

That will work. SATA is backwards compatible.

Thanks for the tip. For sure, the price is right. :cool:
 
Is it bad or good to use it naked without any enclosure as external hard drive? All because i ordered the seagate thunderbolt adapter. :)
 
Glad this helped a few people!

I've been checking prices every day because they bounce around so much. When I ordered mine a couple months ago, I paid $239 from Amazon. Then the next day it dropped to $199, stayed there for less than a day and then went back up again. It's crazy how fast they change. I'm glad I got a good deal, and I think hubby will be happy with it for his birthday present.
 
I saw the ad in my email this morning. Impulsed purchased it for my Mac Pro 2008, since the 240GB drive I have in there is nearly full. I'm going to dedicate it to my home directory, and leave the 1+ year old OWC drive as my boot drive.

I bought the 512GB drive a month ago for my MBP, and since it seems to be working well, I went with the same one again, just smaller.
 
i paid $214 about a month ago on NewEgg. Im so glad to see these things coming down, ill buy a mini when it is inevitably updated and throw an SSD in.

Im thinking Thanksgiving deals of sub $150 for a 256GB are not unrealistic.
 
If you live next to a Micro Center they are also selling them for 179$.


i bought one about 10 days ago and its been amazing. I didn't think I could get a good 256GB SSD for that price but they had them.

They also had the 512Gb version for 399$ which is a pretty decent deal too.
 
Thank you very much for posting this! I just bought the drive and 8GB of ram. Pumped to give my MacBook new life for only $225 ! :cool:

This morning when I ordered the Amazon price was $10 higher. I cancelled my order through them and told them it was cheaper at Tiger Direct. :)

Next time this happens, try doing an online chat with an Amazon rep. They're always helpful and would have definitely dropped the price down for you :)
