    OZC Petrol 128gb SATA III SSD for $119

    Remember with rebates, once you cut off that barcode, no warranty or returns back to Newegg. You will probably not get the rebate from OCZ anyways... they have a Knack for declining for anything including a fly spec on the bar code when received... nope DECLINED. I have a 3 week OCZ SSD sitting...

    Directron 32GB Torx refurb $29

    Found out mine was a Patriot PS-100 drive.... noticed that when I got the RAID rom screen display. Need to check the IRST screen for firmware.. I never noticed that before being listed... thanks for the tip. But so far it is working great as a cache drive in a Z68 setup. I locked it up last...

    Directron 32GB Torx refurb $29

    Bababooey; Your posted firmware date is showing 110322. That is newer than the posted firmware of 110309. That is interesting. With mine being a Raid drive in a cache, I cant see my drive anymore to get the information off it. Good luck on the format to get it installed on laptop. You might try...

    New Directron Hot Deals

    Supposedly the SSD was a TORX first generation according to the number they have on their website. I am running as a cache drive in a Z68X mb setup with no problems. Its a Sata II and not real fast but faster than a hard drive.

    Directron 32GB Torx refurb $29

    Are you asking how I set up the cache drive? I have the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard so this applies to it: I downloaded the newest IRST from intel and installed them then installed the Intel SATA drivers by unpacking then control panel/system/device manger and updating drivers on the...

    Directron 32GB Torx refurb $29

    Thanks... did anyone happen to check the firmware version of the received drive? If it was a TorX TRB series, they only offer one firmware update V110309 (I assume this is release date 3/9/2011) Rob in Mesquite,Tx

    Directron 32GB Torx refurb $29

    Installed the drive in my Z68X system as a cache drive. After reinstalling the drivers, it detected the drive and operated just great. Now I have to RMA my Agility 3 SSD since it was junk. I am very happy with the 34.00 investment and their fast shipping. Does anyone know for sure if this was...

    Directron 32GB Torx refurb $29

    Yeh, I am going to try it for a Z68 SSD caching since it really only needs 20 gb ssd drive for that.... I had a OCZ Vertex 60gb that quit on me after a few days (they are junk!). I hope this works just fine for this caching.. Hard to pass up for that price, even if it fails after 6 months, it...

    Possible 3 Bad MSI 6950's from RMA?

    I had bought a Powercolor 6950 back in November 2011. It ran for about 2 weeks then blew up. Now, only the fan runs. I had to RMA it back to Powercolor... They have had it for like 3 weeks with no answer on replacement yet. I wonder if there is a problem with all 6950's? Rob in Mesquite Tx.
