Win a 500GB SSD – Giveaway Contest

March 5, 2016 by chrisadmin

Enter to win a 500GB SSD by Crucial. Multiple ways to enter, increasing your chances of winning!

That’s right, it’s been a while since we held a giveaway contest here at PC-Addicts. We have given away multiple 16GB DDR3 RAM, SSDs, and more!

The prize we are giving away now is an item that could speed up your computer a lot! So many things these days require some speed and resources from your hardware. Don’t let your hard drive be the bottleneck!

Also, SSDs are known for withstanding the rigorous demands people put on laptops and other portable devices. A minor drop of a laptop on a table or floor could damage your hard drive, loosing all of your data, but with an SSD, there are no moving parts!

Check out the video below for more info!

What is the Prize?

1 slightly used Crucial 500GB SSD (Solid State Drive)

This SSD is currently valued at $217.50 new. Remember, this is a slightly used SSD. I used it for testing for a very short time)

Here are some specs:

  • Sequential reads/writes up to 535 / 450 MB/s on all file types
  • Random reads/writes up to 90k / 87k IOPS on all file types
  • Over 15x faster, 2x more reliable and 2x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive
  • More durable than a hard drive
  • Includes spacer for 9.5mm applications, Specs: Crucial BX100 500GB SATA 6Gbps 2.5″ Internal SSD 535 MB/s Read / 450 MB/s Write

I have switched from standard spinning drives to SSDs in all of my systems. SSDs are cheap enough these days, it doesn’t make sense to use spinning disks anymore, except for SANs and NASs.
