Got my very first SSD which is the [Kingston HyperX SSD 120GB](http://www.kingston.com/us/ssd/HyperX) from [Newegg.com](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139599) 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!
