      John – you can give your eyes a rest for the next 5 years at least – that’ll likely be when a 1TB SSD of that variey comes down to <£25 delivery included or not!! They’re £172 odd at the moment.

      Saw a 960GB one on eBuyer for £140 recently that almost temped me.

        That’s a sweet price at £140. I think next time we go on a long road trip I’ll get a 1tb ssd to replace my 1tb samsung hdd. Should extend the battery life form about 9h to 12 or more.

          Perhaps not the fastest, but ~1TB SSD on the cheap! I’m tempted as well but I don’t carry around that much data normally!

            Noticed on HUKD what looks like a good deal for the Samsung Evo 860 500GB SSD. To make the most of it you need to make sure (a) you have a foreign currency friendly card to pay with such as Halifax Clarity and (b) that you select to just pay in EUR – ignoring Amazon’s offer to currency-convert. On the current GBP-EUR rate it works our approx £75.12 delivered…..which is rather good I think. Here is the link to Amazon Germany – use your normal credentials, you may need to do a text/email verification.

                Cheers Boris – £67.19 for the 480GB too – not sure how these compare to the MXs – had a few of those which have been very good. Really good prices though.

                      Dave, use code id5mm to get it for £18.99. Silly money.

                        Actually got more SSDs than I need now – shame as that is crazy cheap.

                          id5mm

                          Code needs to be entered as ID5MM to work ?

                            I copied it into the checkout as it is in my post, worked for me. That was a couple of minutes after my post.

                            Looks like it’s been expired.

                              The ID5MM worked for me immediately before I made my last post.

                                Odd.

                                When I made a test buy when making my last post it wouldn’t work in either format.

                                Ah well, as long as it worked, that’s the main thing.

                                    Blimey that would have been a result for the 120GB not that long ago!

                                      Similar price on Aria’s email chain today for the same drive. Prices of SSD’s have really dropped!

                                        I was torn between a memory upgrade or a larger SSD about 4 months ago. Glad I went with the memory now ?

                                            They’re so damn cheap now it’s hardly worth looking for bargains at the lower capacities. Even E-Buyer are £22 for a Kingston 120 and £35 for a 240.
