[weibchen]

I'm doing some testing with music servers and testing out some SSD and have liase with the factory direct.

This is an OEM product, no pretty boxes, bells and whistles - Just the disk in an anti static bag. The casing is generic alu brush metal in black, 2 years warranty just come back to me.
Will be visiting their factory to have a look.

[weibchen]

updated with pictures.

[Quest]

any warranty?

[weibchen]

2 years.
I'll be in charge of it.
Just come back to me and i'll settle everything for you =)

[weibchen]

any warranty?

Just for people who'd like some more assurance this is not a fly by night operation..

I've charge abit more for two way exchange on courier service as insurance that is a fair deal to have local warrranty.
A PTE LTD company will be registered soon with paid up capital, so will issue a official invoice and there will be a office space for service center.

That way it can be a speedy RMA.

Got any with 256Gb or 512Gb?

[weibchen]

256 have but the price is around almost close to 700-800 liao.

Thanks for reply.

Prices are still a bit steep and lacking in desired capacity.

[weibchen]

yeah thats the problem with new tech.
I think 128 as OS/Buffer would be nice.

Then use a 1.5TB raid as back up.

[wizardofoz]

It's been a year....any updates...I'm in the market for at least 3-4 SSD's right now, but need big capacity 300gb +

[weibchen]

Expensive still though, will check to let you know.

[HDTV_noobie]

Expensive still though, will check to let you know.

I'm keen too

Unlike wiz, I'm only in the market for 1 - 2 SSDs, capacity 256GB or higher..
