US - eBay Intel DC S3500 300GB $74 free shipping

[WeekendWarrior]

In a surprising turn of events: after @polar101 wrote his message, I submitted 10x @ 50 and it was accepted within 5 minutes

 

[i386]

Two days ago when I put some ssds in the basket I got a notifcation that the seller is on vacation and won't reply/ship until 28th

 

[nkw]

I guess I could submit the offer again, but ended up buying up the PM863s the same seller had last night.

 

[RyC]

Yeah, I also got a notification that seller was on vacation until today when I submitted an offer 2 days ago. I re-submitted for 2 @$50 last night and was accepted today.

 

[ninja6o4]

I just put an offer of $50 ea for 2 and was accepted within 10 minutes. Not many left!

 

[bash]

Yep 50$ seems to be the sweet spot just bought another 4.

 

[T_Minus]

Bums me out, had offer in on these for $55 for 10 and expired darn should have noticed no one around until today!

It is strange that Power_On_Hours is just 1.

Is there a burn-in test for SSD?

 

[lopgok]

Get the intel ssd toolkit. it will process the raw smart stuff into stuff that makes sense.

 

[RyC]

I got my two today and both had only 280gb written. Pretty good I think!

 

[Cybertron]

Hey guys, I was able to get these again.... called the company directly this time and secured $45 each for 20. Just curious if anyone was interested in any of them before I actually pull the trigger. I'd sell them at cost plus $2.50 shipping them media mail Trying to give back, have had some great deals on these forums.
