I hear there is a 'computer market' west of Olaya Street and south of Kingdom Tower, before the next main junction. Is this the most likely place I'll be able to get an internal 2.5" laptop SSD drive? Warranty hold up like international countries (one year)?

Also, what's the pricing like? Buy there or import from my home country?

I'm looking for something like the Sandisk Pulse with 3gb/s speed due to the age of my laptop (chipset won't take advantage of 6gb's) : http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/standard/

Beakersful,

Yes there is a market in olaya, but for that u need to go & check the prices & compare it with what is being offered in your own home country.

You have 2 choices in Riyadh, either computer market or try Jarrir.

Jarrir warranty will be valid no problems.

Computer market (warranty may be an issue)- price should be cheaper

Thanks, I'll check my local Jarir Book store eventually. Every time I go there they are closed, even though the times on the door say they should be open.....

As to the market, I'll be interested to look there. I can only find external (slow) drives in malls and supermarkets obviously.
