TRIM really is overrated :shrug:

Be it over rated or not. It's still something I would have over not having. Then again maybe I'm too worried about degrading my drive.

Don't feel bad man, just gotto realize that the price on newegg reflect how many they have left in stock. Due to such high demand for this SSD, I wouldn't be surprise but still very disappointed since I've been waiting just for this to complete my new build. You might consider talking to newegg rep since I did and they give me $25 off if I order it.

They gave me the discount since they said I'm a value customer which is obvious since I bought a bunch of stuff from them. And don't bother to ask them about the availability of any item since they will just tell you to look at the ETA. This SSD sells like hot cake and sold out really fast, I was only 2 clicks away to submit my order and it's gone.

It seems that increases in price of G2 pushed prices of Summit and Vertex from OCZ higher too. I've been following both 120gb models and they went up by $60 (Summit) and $50 (Vertex).

Charlie Crews was right: It's all connected :yepp:

Well, so did u ask them to give you the discount or they just offer it to u, I been spending on newegg for like over 4k value of stuff, I think I should be able to get some discount for these price growning drives.

Was gonna ask the same thing, what else support TRIM and works well like these X-25, corsair or vertex?

AFAIK the only drives to current support TRIM is Vertex.

HOLY :banana::banana::banana::banana:! http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16820167016 That is ridiculous, $522 CAD for one, it was 279 yesterday and that was high. Isn't this illegal on some level? I hope no one is buying these at this price.... Anyone know when NCIX will be replenishing their stocks? I have one on preorder for 279.

EDIT: That's $3 more than the gen1 160gb!

hopefilly its just a pricing error, but... agreed, HOLY :banana::banana::banana::banana:

Doubt its an error, the 160gb is priced over $1k. They really are milking this low supply situation aren't they?

Get mine from mwave for 500 for 2 of the 80G include shipping, in this case, I think you guys should just backorder on mwave

Plenty of 80GB UK stock still at Scan and NO gouge yet (at least compared to the price they originally offered it at)...

LOL newegg must be hurting or something I keep getting freaking Sale Sale ads from them everyday saying BIG SALE. I go to it and it is all crap stuff and they know it but yet they still try.. I was talking with a rep at Microcenter and he said the new G2 will be soon around $220.00..

now thats REALLY SOME BULLLLLLLLL SHIIIIIITTTT !!!!!!!

what upsets me most is I have bought TONS of stuff at reasonable prices and this is utter price gouging.

the G1s they even raised to over 300.00 and the 160g to 997.00 LMAO

I sure hope everyone boycots Newegg for the next 30 days
