Get it while it's good, at least one for your OS drive.

It's a "solid" deal. Heh.

Damnit.

LOL REFURBISHED. Stay away. SSD's have a limited write cycle, so who knows how badly beat up your drive will be?

I'm in agreement with Cham on this one, wouldn't want a refurb SSD. As posted in Raxe's new build thread, Intel X25-M's are $200 at microcenter for an 80GB drive, and I picked one up at Fry's a couple of months ago on special for $150 for a friend's build. This drive is insanely fast.

I worked a job years ago refurbishing computers (80286/80386 I think) and the refurb process consisted of: re-install windows 3.1 (it was new then) and putting the computer in a new box.

oh and we'd have to put new serial number stickers on the case, so as to match the one on the box.

Yeah. We refurb SSD's for a number of different companies. The drive gets SMART checked, then we issue an ATA Secure Erase, package it and call it a day.
