I notice this morning they've raised the price.
I'm going to keep my old 160 hd to put pictures or music etc on. I didn't figure I needed the SSD to be all that big so thats why I purchased this one.
I plan to use this box I have and upgrade the mother board and processor sometime in the near future so this drive should be just what I want for it.
I've got a 500 gig usb3 toshiba drive also that I put ubuntu 12.04.3 on. I purchased a usb3 card and put it in my computer but when I installed ubuntu to the usb drive and plugged it in to the usb3 card it won't boot to it so I have to use the usb2 thats on the front of my computer to use it. I wish I could figure out how to get the computer to boot to the toshiba drive connected to the usb3 card but can't. I tried different settings in the bios too to no avail.

My computer is one I purchased back in 2001. its a dell dimension 4700 with a 3 gig hard drive with 2 gig ram. I've been running ubuntu or mint for the last 5 or 6 years now.

we have a sony laptop that I may put a SSD in too. It has a dual core pentium4 and 2 gig of ram.
