Deal Alert: Crucial 256GB SSD for $179.99 after $32 Rebate

Got an email yesterday that Crucial has a 256 gigabyte (GB) Solid State Drive (SSD) on sale for $179.99 after a $32 rebate TODAY ONLY, August 24th. The drive is normally about $199 on Crucial’s website. Why should you upgrade to a solid state drive? A couple of reasons:

• No moving parts involved means the disk is largely shock resistant. 
• 2.5″ form-factor means you can upgrade your laptop hard drive.
• Solid State Drives have a faster boot time, sometimes loading Windows or OS X in about 10 seconds on newer computers.
• Improved performance time accessing files.
• Less lag time playing video games installed on the SSD.
• Put less performance-critical files on your old hard drive in a USB external enclosure. 
• Storage / cost ratio is coming down quickly.
• Revive an older computer with a hard drive upgrade to SSD!
