SanDisk X300 2.5" 512GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)


does anyone recommend this, or know if it is worth buying for US $18.99?
because I just purchased one on ebay, and I am finding it very hard to believe the price is only $18.99, when other sites list it for $133.00 or more.

I only purchased it because it's one of them too good to be true, but for $18.99 I figured I'd give it a go. it's coming out of England so I just hope I get it and it's everything ssd hd are supposed to be.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, i.e., isn't true.
However, SanDisk is a good brand.

yeah, just found this posting about ebay someone else found a different sdd about the same price . ebay has a money back Guarantee. I got my email from ebay and paypal so I'll wait and see. I think it's worth the gamble .

BW-userx,

The seller's account has been compromised.
