Technically I guess I'm not a new buyer but with the new email address and I just moved to a new physical address I bet I qualify 🤘 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Jones Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Yep, just verified that I can get it for 89.99 with the new sign up add an email address that you haven't used with them before. To enter the code first they make you enter the email address they emailed the code to and then they let you enter the code and that takes $10 off of this drive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Actually a new physical address has nothing to do with it cuz I haven't even entered that just give them an email address you haven't used with them before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muy bueno! 😁 Abacab.. not to take us off topic but just real quick since you're here.. how big of a system drive would you recommend for a Windows machine for a drive that only has Windows and your apps? I believe my system Drive is 500 gigs where all my other drives are 1tb drives.. do you think 1 terabyte drive would be overkill for a system drive? Anyone else feel free to answer that too Edited November 17, 2020 by Christian Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe my system Drive is 500 gigs where all my other drives are 1tb drives.. do you think 1 terabyte drive would be overkill for a system drive? Anyone else feel free to answer that too Well I recently upgraded my system drive from a 250GB Samsung EVO 850 that I had been running for a few years. It was getting full so I replaced it with a 500GB Samsung EVO 860. It's my system drive, plus all my programs and plugins (except samples, sound libraries, etc). It's running at slightly over 50% use, so 500GB is probably a sweet spot for a system drive used in this way. I bought a Samsung QVO 860 1TB ($110) for my data drive (samples, instrument libraries, loops, misc content), because it was cheaper that a 1TB EVO. This is plenty of space for now, and it's running about 75% full. But the price for this 1TB EVO deal ($89) is nearly about what I paid for the 500GB EVO earlier this year ($78). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse g Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) 1TB for $89.99 can never be an over kill. 😖 how dare you utter those words...... uuhhh, gulp, no hitting Edited November 18, 2020 by jesse g 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) 250gb for OS, (using EVO’s). no samples on the “C” drive. Use a “junction” for those apps that insist on using the C drive for samples or IR’s. I want to say both “Cats” are 60 gigs OS. t Edited November 18, 2020 by DeeringAmps Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I bought it, this Samsung. Actually just about everybody is doing the 99.99 deal right now for this drive but probably none of them have a $10 off coupon. I have 5 drives in my tower: two 1tb ssd drives - both for sample libraries; one 1tb ssd for audio files; one 500gb ssd for system, and then a WD 7200rpm spin drive for my mp3 music only. Now I can finally get rid of that spin drive and relegate the 500GB ssd system drive to an MP3 drive and make this new Samsung 1tb ssd the system drive. So I will finally have a full ssd setup = quiter, cooler, faster, and much less room being taken up.

When I go to newegg website a pop-up comes up offering a 10% off coupon code if you sign up to the mailing list.. it says it's for new members only so I just gave it an email address I haven't used w/ them before and they sent me a 10% off code Edited November 18, 2020 by Christian Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 I did that and never got a pop up....I wasn't going to buy because I just bought the WD one...but $10 off of something would have been nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some ad and tracking protection enabled in those, so that may be part of the cause. But I did get the pop-up with MS Edge. Using it plain vanilla without any ad or tracking protection, as it's not my default browser. Edge is a spam fest! 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah I got the pop up using my phone which is how I surf the net these days about 97% of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
