Samsung 840 EVO 500GB: $189.99 with a FREE download code for Far Cry 4

[iM@st@1]

Have that same drive in my cart, dunno why the 1TB ver. can't see some better prices also. Far cry 4 kinda buggy right now, so they could afford to give it away.

[Spitfir3]

for those still not willing to shell out $$ for a big ssd this has got to be the cheapest ive ever seen a 240gb for..couple of days ago this was more than $100

[fouljuice]

Yeah I had that on my wish list since 31st August and the lowest it would go is $100 on weekends and then back to ~$120.

A review if anyone interested.

[sMASH]

[Arcmanov]

bitfenix spectre pro 230mm fan so far.
.

Boss fan. I have one of those as my HAF-X intake.
Moves plenty air, and almost dead-silent.

[nervewrecker]

So, these Kingston ssd v300's are on sale for just under $50.00. Couldn't help but pick up one.

I want to use it as a back up for my PC files and to connect to my pioneer deck to listen music. In saw there is a USB to data III adapter so alls well there for connecting it to the PC, right?
For the vehicle however, it requires fat 32 but the drive comes in nfts. Reformatting it shouldn't be an issue right?

[Cross Blood]

^ How you powering that sata though?

[nervewrecker]

Can the PC USB power do it?

I have USB power in the pickup, not sure of voltage but if necessary is no big deal to get another power source.

[kg494EJ-1]

I had a similar setup with a vantech hard drive enclosure using usb for power and data needs. Worked just like any usb but swapped it out for a 128gb sandisk cruzer.

[Cross Blood]

I believe this works.

http://www.amazon.com/Patuoxun-Converte ... ata+to+usb

One USB for power, the other for data transfer. Its 12 volts btw.

[ismithx]

them thing is not 12 volts, usb only delivers 5. if you want one with 12 volts, check the wizz computers ltd, i got one today for 175.

[nervewrecker]

Well it isn't here yet so I am not sure of the voltage but at that price, oy was too good to pass up.

What you got for $175.00 ismithx? The cable?

[ismithx]

this is the kit in question that i got

http://www.comqtech.com/component/k2/it ... p19is.html

[nervewrecker]

Oh, nothing for 12v though.

I have a dual USB out in the CIG lighter. Should be like 5V, the HD is 5V no?
