Sandisk ReadyCache Desktop Accelerator 32gb SDD

Hey all,

Figured I would post this here as there this product would work awesome for a WMC machine. What this does is it's an add-on SSD, and it caches your files as you use them. So after installing this, it will cache your boot up files and use them off the SSD and same with your most used applications. I moved to a full SSD and don't need it any more...

If your using a standard HD, you can add this and after rebooting a few times it will add all the boot up files to the SSD and make your system boot like SSD performance. Same with your apps, after you use them a while with this drive. This will make a major boost in boot up time and WMC should load a lot faster.

Install is easy,
1. Install drive into computer
2. boot and install software
3. Enable software.
4 Reboot a few times for it to configure itself.

It comes with SSD, Cable, box and manuals.

info here...

If your thinking about an SSD but, don't want to deal with moving your OS to another drive this is the 2nd best thing and almost the same performance. It really does work, I used it for about 6 months before moving to a full SSD and it was a VERY NOTICABLE difference.

Say $45+shipping ? (pictures on request)

Amazon has them new with Prime shipping for $46. Does $35 including shipping work?

Either way, thanks for putting this up. I wasn't aware that this kind of product existed.

I have it in a USPS Priority mail flat rate box, so if you go to $40, I will include shipping so I can net around $32-35 for it (I did pay around $60 for it when I got it a while ago), I will be cool with it.

If you can do paypal via gift today, I will ship it out in the morning. I sent you an email with my email address to paypal If you want it...

THoughts ?

Thanks for offering to come down, but I think I'll get a new one with a warranty for a little more.

If you want it for cheaper ($35), I'll do it but, will pack it in a first rate package to lower the costs for me...

It's on ebay starting at $9.99 Bid away if you want it, it goes for like $45-60, and it really makes a big difference in performance, I think on a Media Center dedicated machine it would make a MAJOR difference in performance over a standard HD...

This has been sold and is no longer available. Too bad, would of been the perfect tool if you were using a standard hard drive as a OS drive in your HTPC...
