Who wants a free 750Mb/s(burst) SSD drive?

I have an io-extreme drive and after countless re-installations and driver updates I can't get it to work right. It constantly prevents my computer from loading windows (what moron at Microsoft allowed a device to prevent windows from loading?) Anyways I had this procedure for starting up my computer that involved starting it up and waiting for the hang, then reset. Wait 5 seconds and then start it up again. Choose the "Continue to Load Windows" option and it worked fine after that. I like my computers to work correctly and this bugs me enough that I'm getting rid of the drive. The drive works flawlessly when you can get into windows :mad:

So there is no contest, I'll just pick someone at random and send them a private message. Then I will mail it off sometime next week. Including the kick ass aluminum case it came in.

I wouldn't mind it. My buddy is super into computers so hopefully i could get w/e the problem is fixed if you can't and do indeed need to send it out :)

Awesome thing to do for the community man, even if the product is faulty or can't be used for windows =P

I would love it.... my framerate is only being held back by having an old old hard drive

Ohh, pick me! Pick me!

rolling. :)

Very generous of you, Multibocks!

If it's bigger than 32GB then I'd love to have it! I may need to replace my current SSD, depending on how big Cata ends up being (out of space)

Thanks for sending me the disk mate. Awesome friend you are. I'll put it to good use.
The country of Belgium thanks you.

I'll post who wins it tomorrow. It's 128GB I believe.

id love it as well

/drool


I'll get my shammies to dance on a mailbox nekid for it! :D

I would love to add it to my PC for my new video project im working on for Cataclysm

I could provide a nice home for it.

same here, would benefit my lacking machine:/
in Oz though :/
(we can't even *buy* SSDs here atm)

shoot yes. I'd love to get off the old IDE drives I have.

Maybe Jafula could use it? That would certainly be a generous gesture from Multibocks to another generous guy.

as much as i'd like the drive myself - i really like owltoid's idea.
send it to jafula =)
i'd say another candidate would be lax, considering how much isboxer does for us. but then - inner space costs money...

To be clear.. very generous of you.
But was not asking to be considered for it.

What are you talking about? We have been able to buy SSD's for at least the last year and a half. Both 2.5"/3.5" and the PCIE Cards.

Perhaps you live somewhere really regional but most places would order stuff in for you as long as you paid a deposit.

I've OCZ Summit 120GB/60GB drives for awhile now. They are pretty shitful and don't have TRIM but at the time the Vertex where very expensive and had lots of controller issues.

I'm totally considering a OCZ PCIE drive for WoW/Games and a SATAIII drive for my OS/applications - waiting around for Intel/AMD to announce new processors though.

And back on topic - I would recommend Jafula for the donation. I think you've already mailed it off though to someone in an earlier post?

i'm in sydney, and the big retailers (dick smith/officewks etc) i asked didn't have a clue for how much or where I could get an SSD. THen i put the idea aside as i couldnt really afford getting one of those shipped anyway >.<

Can i jump in on this! I'd love it, however i wouldn't murder anyone for it! Pick me

Stephen won it, asked my girlfriend (who was not in room at time) to pick a number between 1 and 21. Thanks for playing!

Hax!

Haha, Thanks Multibocks, and Thank your Girlfriend for me.

The last time I won anything (outside of a piece of gear in wow) was back around 76, and it was a cake at a grade school fair.

This just made my whole day.

gratz and you just made me remember the last time i won something, a lego plane back in '86 hehe

Congrats!

grats!

damn a lego plane would be awesome

Zub - check out staticice.com.au - its a search engine that will look for the cheapest price for an item.

Harvey Norman / DSE etc are very very expensive when it comes to buying parts. If you know what you want and dont mind getting in line for 30m or so on a w/e to get it at a good price MSY do great prices. Pretty sure heaps of them in NSW as I have friends in my guild who buy there.
