For sale is my Crucial 256GB RealSSD C300 SATA-600 2.5" Solid State Drive drive. Originally bought for my Macbook but shortly after decided to sell that to fund a new toy. Now selling this (and anything else that isnt bolted down!) to fund yet another project! (movies ripped and streamed from a new NAS/mac mini).

It was bought back in January and is still boxed and factory sealed!

£235 including insured carriage.

Wow.

That's some serious SSD.

I'd be tempted... If I had £225! lol

BTW. You won't look back after having a NAS drive!

I have a trusty Linkstation Pro 1TB with modded firmware running torrents and an iTunes server.

You plan to auto rip them on the mac mini onto the NAS then?

That's the plan. :-) I actually already run a windows home server/ripper but nits purely for the sonos audio system.

I'll price drop this to £200 if it shifts it in the next few days otherwise I'll pay the fees and go via that auction site!. £200 is a total bargain for a drive of this calibre. :yes:
