Intel Optane SSD 900P 280GB -$299

[abq]

Hello All
Looks like a good price on brand new 280GB Optane 900P SSD. Seller is NewEgg, and looks to come with free game deal. $299 is lowest I have seen for brand new and reputable seller.
Cheers

Isn’t it the usual code for a ship in Star Citizen rather than an actual game? FWIW you should be able to sell that code to lower your effective price decently.

Its ship and game package. And resale value has plummeted a lot. 50 bucks with luck I'd say.

Good to know. That game has certainly received a lot of press over the years, although the focus has continually gotten more negative. ~17% off by selling the code is worth the effort.

 

[Samir]

And hardforum is a great place to sell the code--always people looking and selling game codes there.

The AIC version is currently $40 off at newegg.com with code 91PCGD5. $259 is very tempting for new drives.

* Edit - code no longer applies to the U.2 version

Wow. Good price and timing. Kinda feel for anyone selling at the moment. I also got free shipping to Australia

 

[Axam]

The same price on Amazon US. Personally would prefer Amazon to eBay.

Amazon honor the same $40 off with code 91PCGD5?

Might need to watch your credit statements if you bought from Newegg. Apparently they had a data breach: NewEgg cracked in breach, hosted card-stealing code within its own checkout

In this case as they had I believe all the info and were looking exactly for card info I am surprised banks haven’t replaced those affected cards already.

269 USD! Why are they not sold out?

Just to give you some idea of how I use them. I have FreeBSD + ZFS, with three partitions. 10GB for SLOG, 32GB for swap and the rest is L2ARC cache. Completely overkill, but a joy to use. With NFS over 40GbE(fiber, not coax) I get 60-70% of the 4kb-8kb iops that I would locally on the machine.

You may wonder why I have 32GB for just swap? That is because a lot of applications I'm running is basically idling, and FreeBSD will automatically just move it to swap and use the RAM for even more ARC caching. This works great! There is a small delay when I start using these sleeping applications, but then they will be moved to RAM and behave as fast as they should. And if I stop using them, they get moved back to the swap.

Why are they not sold out?

My guess? For the average user the drive is too small and "not fast enough"*.

My first 3 codes went for $200 last year, sweet drive discount. Star Scam...citizen has a pretty entrenched base of captive whales, its kinda nuts.

Those whales all got fed so its not so much now, might not even be worth the hassle of "selling cd-keys to random people".

I added one to my account (yeah I got suckered by the early stuff but only for the base game) and gave another to a friend recently.
