Can I get someone's opinion on the OCZ SSD drive that is listed.

My WD raptor drive just died on my desktop, and I want to replace it. It will run my OS and a few games/apps.

is this a good price? (also, I don't mind the mail in rebate).

not a bad price
i paid 135 for mine and the difference on my system is amazing

@steeveejee: looking at some other SSDs on Newegg I noticed that the OCZ's write times and read times are lower than other similarly priced drives. But I guess those differences are minuscule when you consider how much faster it is than an HDD.

Don't buy a SSD unless it has trim-command support. There's ones based on a sandforce chipset that are good, there's the intel server ones that are amazing and pricey, and the rest are garbage.

@xiaodown: way to support your ramble there. "the rest are garbage" is like saying all fords suck. Goodjob for quality comment

can anyone comment on the mice? I'm looking for a new one. While I play games, I don't need the mouses main focus to be gaming. As long as it doesn't make it hard to play thats fine.

@bck9900: He's right. SSDs without TRIM support can lose performance as more and more files are written and overwritten (unless the drive is reformatted). Most newer SSDs have TRIM support, though.

EDIT: From the feedback, it looks like that specific drive does support TRIM. It's probably cheap(ish) because it's not Sandforce-based, so the R/W speeds aren't insane, but they'll still blow away a HDD.

@knitknots: The two mice on that page are both notebook mice, so they're probably on the small side. I wouldn't get 'em, especially for gaming... but I have big hands, so maybe they'd be better for someone with smaller hands.

Regardless, I generally prefer to try out mice and keyboards in person before buying online (generally on Newegg). Cuts down on mistake purchases that way.

Unfortunately, Newegg is located in my state so nothing on their website is ever a deal. I have to pay 9.75% more for electronics on Newegg than on tigerdirect, zipzoomfly, and the other ones.

Your state needs the tax. Pay em.

@craig234: Crazy. The IRS is infiltrating deals.woot?

@ngallion: State taxes are a matter of the state's department of revenue, actually, not IRS.

Whoda thought you might learn something on woot? :D

@jpkeith15: I have this exact drive and actually used it to replace a second gen Raptor SATA drive. The SSD is certainly quicker, but it didn't make my head spin like some suggest. I use the Raptor to run Steam.

@tutsupbaby: funny because that's exactly the drive I just lost. RIP raptor :'(

@jpkeith15: You won't miss your Raptor much...this thing is cool, quiet and much more "future proof" (move it into a netbook or notebook later...). Check the serial numba on your Raptor, you might be able to RMA it for only the cost of shipping. Raptor's carry a 5 year warranty by serial number, IIRC.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
