Johnm Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Nice price. make sure to upgrade to the latest firmware from yesterday. that resolves the BSOD issues. it looks like they fixed it. Link to comment
nia Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I just got one as part of my ESXi build for datastore purposes. Not at your überdiscounted US prices unfortunately I had to go through 3 different machines in order to successfully flash it to the VERY IMPORTANT 2.15 firmware update. That is an update from this week, that apparently finally fixes a problem of losing the drive under yet unclear circumstances. So if you buy it, be sure to go to the OCZ forums to get the update and read the experiences with the latest FW. Currently it looks like the fix makes the drive as good as it was ment to be Link to comment
nia Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 woops - Johnm beat me to it - writing too slow Link to comment
Loch Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ditto all the above. over 36 hrs now since flashing the FW without any issues. Wish I had need of another one at this price. Link to comment
Johnm Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I will point out they are still registering at 128c with the new FW 2.15 unRAID overheat on shutdown app will still not like the drive. still a great price for other uses. Link to comment
nia Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 They claim to have fixed the temp app? I used the bootable Linux update CD, and it had a "Fix temp." that reported to have run successfully?! Just checked now. In 4.7 the drive reports 0 (zero) degrees. This is running directly on SuperMicro X9SCM-F. Maybe it's just a temporary fix - but a cool one ... I will point out they are still registering at 128c with the new FW 2.15 unRAID overheat on shutdown app will still not like the drive. still a great price for other uses. Link to comment

Johnm Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sign up for their emailing list, then try again. a little while later. you have to be on their mailing list usually for some promo codes to work. Link to comment
mikejp Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I used the promo code that I received from NewEgg in one of thier e-mail fliers... happens to be the same code posted above. Called customer service & they made it right... She said it was a valid promo & applied it to my order. Gotta love NewEgg customer service ;D Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 They are not giving me the deal! They say that they ran out of those funds. First time NewEgg has disappointed! Link to comment
Johnm Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I think with mechanical drives skyrocketing in price and SDD's at good deals, people are buying up what they can. the 120gig Agility3 is $124.99 +free ship after MIR and no promo code. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227726&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL102111&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL102111-_-EMC-102111-Index-_-SSD-_-20227726-L0A Not as good of a deal, but close. The larger size is a bonus. Link to comment
jbuszkie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Can you post a screen shot of the deal? Does it say anywhere where the funds are limited? I can't find my e-mail that had it.. Link to comment
mikejp Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Here's the promo: http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/Oct-0-2011/72HourSale20/index-landing.html?nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL102011&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL102011-_-EMC-102011-Index-_-E0-_-SeeAll The "with promo code" box has been removed... It was there when I added it to my cart yesterday It never did say anything about "limited funds" that I saw... Link to comment
Johnm Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 says no where about limited funds, but it has said that on previous ones. Discounted prices and/or promo codes are valid till 11:59pm PT 10/22/2011. Standard terms and conditions resume upon expiration. Valid only on current stock. Promo codes may not be combined with other promo codes on a single item and can only be used once per registered account. However, unless otherwise noted on the product page, customers may purchase up to five (5) pieces of the same product at the promo code price as long as all pieces are purchased in the same order. Only one promo code will be applied per item per order, even if the item is eligible for other promo codes entered at time of purchase.

jbuszkie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 My guess is someone F#$%ed up and the deal wasn't supposed to be that good... so now they are just trying to cover themselves. Usually I would get a "Go ahead and buy it and use this coupons to get $xx off instead.. but I got offered nothing! Maybe if I did call them instead of chat they would do something... I'm really surprised on how Newegg handled this.. I was on the fence about buying it anyway.. I need to build a new client Sage PC in the next couple weeks and this could have been the first piece! Damm... not sure if it's worth my aggravation to fight! Jim Link to comment
Johnm Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Call them, I have in the past when a deal was removed before it expired. they usually give it at the sale price since "you knew about it" They had something I wanted at some crazy low price. I waited an hour to buy it and the typo was corrected in that hour. i called and they sold me 2 (it was limit 1) at the crazy low price. no questions asked or begging needed. Newegg is usually stellar once you get a person on the phone. one of the few companies i have never had an issue with. trust me, I do a lot of business with them. Link to comment
