id say its an upgrade but i know rapid mode fuks with the numbers a bit and real world isnt really that substantially better lol... but it makes me feel good
weird thing is, i checked my bank just now; and the entire purchase price was adjusted back on my card - with a debit adjustment of just .85 cents.
so if i get a credit and nothing else changes, im up $70 and an ssd ?? lol
Those calculations make sense for Alberta @5%, still no clue how jslabonte got under $110 in Quebec..

i went over everything with live chat step by step to do it and made sure she clearly verified the process for me and documented it on the order. i have screen shots of the pm (told her what happens if when i call back thing change, says doesnt matter its based on when she approved it).
if they pull a fast one im sending it straight back obv.
got billed 192.94 ... notes to call back for the $70.50 or so credit.
Is Staples pulling a fast one on me?
I just bought from Staples, then price matched with Canada Computers price though a phone call. Quick and Painless process.
With Visa checkout, my total is under 110$. Awesome !
you wont notice a difference
what you would notice is the 10 year vs 5 year warranty.
for $121 tax in (what i spent) this is a no brainer imo, but im not sure on the pro price on that deal. if it was the super staples coupon stack nothing matches
How does this drive compare to the Pro that is/was on sale (I believe it was 500gb)? I've read the Pro is better, but not sure if I would actually notice the difference.
its only online as its a drop ship item.
seems in stock to me. not going to go through checkout but i can add to cart just fine.
Call/chat with staples rep and give them the URL to price match.
That's what I did for the PM.
When the 850 firmware dies like the 840 did we can both combine powers to destroy the all mighty Samsung.
Ordered.
was on the fence at 125, but this will be hard to beat at 105+tax ish.
total cost was $192.68 ... but "The total of the credit, including taxes, is $71.20" so i get it for $121.48 taxes in. not bad at all really. going to become my OS drive.
Thanks OP. Got a couple for my game library. Gonna do me some Raid 0.

PM Staples with http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=33991104175
As DC is not selling in limited quantities, PM will go through.
Add Visa Checkout $20 coupon and the price will become about $100 before tax.
Decent deal.
Just be nice and there's no harm in sharing how you got x cheaper.
Anyways, this is a great price for the drive but I already have last gen
Order below includes a ~$7 filler.
And it's people like you (self righteous bad attitude) why I don't care to say where I price matched from. Figure it out genius. Who price matches and allows coupon stacking?!
