Win a 40GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD!

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 | Author: OWC Chris S.

We’ve gone on and on about how our SandForce processor based OWC Mercury Extreme™ Pro SSDs have seem to be universally held in high regard by reviewers, including the likes of the folks over at The SSD Review who, as you may guess by the name, specialize in SSD performance.

In fact, they loved our OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD so much that they’ve decided to offer one up as the grand prize in a giveaway they’re holding. Entry into the contest is free, but there are a few caveats (you knew there was going to be some…) that you’ll have to keep mind of:

  1. You need to be a member of The SSD Review site.
  2. In order to be eligible for the drawing, one must register on The SSD Review and become an active member in the forum community between now and February 15, 2011.
  3. Members will not be eligible if they haven’t posted to the site previously or at least once within the contest eligibility period.
  4. To win the contest, the selected site member must correctly answer a skill testing question only when informed that he/she has won and the question is presented in an e-mail.

That’s not too bad, right? Head over to The SSD Review, register, and start contributing your SSD knowledge, and you’ll be eligible to win.

Of course, if you don’t wind up being the lucky winner, you’ll still be able to buy your own right here at OWC!

While the national elections are now well past (though there’s probably a recount going on somewhere) there are still a couple important places OWC needs you to cast your vote.

Meet Me at CES

First off, we’d like you to check out our entry in the “Meet Me at CES” Video Contest. Just view our video on the page (it’s the fourth one on the list,”Out of the Slow Lane”, featuring one of our esteemed bloggers…) and choose “Love It” from the two options.

Please note that you will need to register to vote. Sorry, can’t do anything about that. Don’t worry, though – it’s free and you’re not obligated for anything else.

You can vote on each video once per day so, in the grand tradition of Illinois Politics, vote early and vote often!

Apple has had some impressive milestones when it comes to their iTunes Store:

100 million songs sold: Summer, 2004

250 million songs sold: January 24, 2005

1 billion songs sold: February 23, 2006

5 billion songs sold: June 19, 2008

10 billion songs sold: Fast approaching!

Apple has started a countdown to the 10 billionth song downloaded and that lucky downloader could win a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card!  At the current rate of download it looks like that milestone could very well be crossed this afternoon or tonight!

If you’ve been putting off your purchase, this may be a perfect time to get that new song or album!
