Got my very first SSD which is the Kingston HyperX SSD 120GB from Newegg.com thanks to Benjamin’s cousin who is in the US.

The usual price of the SSD (on 3rd February 2012) on Newegg.com is US$205 (S$259), however there is mail-in rebate of US$50 (SDG$63). After the mail-in rebate, it cost only US$155 (S$195).

I paid an addition S$25 for shipping as I am sharing it with Benjamin and this SSD only cost me **S$220**. Sim Lim Square’s Fuwell is selling it for S$321 (as of 8th March 2012).

I still can’t find the time to install it on [my 4 years old desktop](https://lesterchan.net/about/toys/#Computers), but it should pro-long the lifespan of it for 1-2 more years before I changed to a Mac!
