New Intel X-25M G2 160GB Solid State Drive - $299

Quote from Scataphagos:

No apology. In fact, I expect one from you.

If you do an advanced search you'll see a couple of new ones which went for $160-ish. In fact, one went just last weekend for $150.50, shipping included.

Your ignorance precedes you.... again!

All of these items were used - READ THE DESCRIPTION.

THERE HASN'T BEEN A SINGLE X-25M G2 160GB BRAND NEW SOLD ON EITHER EBAY, CRAIGSLIST, OR AMAZON FOR LESS THAN $330 EVER.

I HAVE FOLLOWED THE PRICES CLOSELY.

I HAVE DEBUNKED EVERY POST YOU MADE YET YOU CONTINUE TO POST LINKS TO ITEMS THAT WERE USED AS STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION.

STOP BEING AN IGNORAMUS.

New, but used 6 months in his MBP? lol

The OP's price is good considering they're not available in the channel anywhere near his price. If it's truly NIB then it's a good deal. I would personally look to the used one on ebay, but new is not "used for six months".

Here's the Lenovo OEM prices (much lower than the Intel-branded street-price): http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=_1I5T6jrDOmasgKd0emPAg&ved=0CL8BEPMCMAc

Point taken, but someone on this thread stated there is a replacement (newer iteration) at $270.

The 320 that someone referred to uses the same controller as G2. Interestingly it is not as reliable and "bulletproof" as the G2.
If you read the reviews on Newegg and other sites for both of them you'll see.

The G2 that I am selling has 5 stars on Newegg : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...yMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

Actually the one I am selling comes in a retail box (which includes a cable and mounting bracket) - the one reviewed above is the OEM version. But as far as the drive itself goes they are identical.

In fact it is the only drive that had 5 stars on Newegg among all the different sizes (80gb, 120GB, 160GB).

In comparison the 320 series (currently selling for 274.99) has only 4 stars as you can see here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...6742&isNodeId=1&Description=intel+320&x=0&y=0

But you will really have to read all the reviews for both to see the difference in reliability.

There is a reason why it was cheaper than the G2 6 months ago, when G2 was still available on newegg.

Is the $270 version a replacement of the one you own? If so, you're not going to get a premium, regardless of newegg ratings.

Stuff that is obsolete (replaced by a new SKU) often sells at inflated prices. I am not stating your drive is weak, but you're unlikely to sell your drive at a price higher than the replacement.

Put in on ebay and post the URL here. I guess that will settle the debate.
 
I have just lowered the price again to $299. That is it. I am not lowering it any more.

As for selling one at a premium to the earlier version - you are wrong about that.

About a month ago one was sold on Craigslist for $350.

The cheapest one on amazon right now is $359.99 http://www.amazon.com/Intel-2-5-Inc...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329280008&sr=1-1

Those who did their research and want the utmost in stability will choose this drive over the newer 320 series, especially when it is only $15 more.
