No super deal updates on the SSD front recently. What are the best 240GB SSD drives out there currently?

I took the punge the other day and stumped up 115 English pounds for a 1TB SSD. Money well spent.

I didn’t realise, but there are M.2 drives for the same price too:

No good for my old systems, but may be good for some of you posh buggers who’ve upgraded from hamsters 😉

[Dave Rice]

My next PC will definetly be running an M2 drive. No idea when that will be as everything I have is more than powerful enough, indeed I’ve been re-purposing older kit. Dropping a £60 FX 8350 8 core CPU into an old 760G motherboard is proving an excellent VM host.

With M2 it’s worth paying a little more for the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe (if your system can take it). £47 gets you an Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB 3500MB/s Read, 1200MB/s Write and you can tell the difference. That’s Samsung Evo type performance for £30 less.

If your motherboard has an extra Marvel SATA 6GB controller onboard then dont buy a Gigabyte SSD to hook to it. They dont get on well at all. The drive will run at about 2/3 of its rated speed and if you attach ANY other drive to the controllers second channel your system will crash with a memory manager error after about 10 minutes.

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Infact im not sure you should buy a Gigabyte drive anyway. I got one cheap but their drive software is very poor and their Website try’s its best not to mention they even sell SSD’s !

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Must be my lucky day.

I ordered a Crucial MX300 512MB SSD on ebay last week for £43.

I wanted a MX300 because it has a Marvel controller an I know my motherboard likes them.

I had an email on thursday from the seller saying that the MX300 was out of stock so they were sending me an MX500 instead. Not really what I wanted because it has a different controller but ho hum.

This morning I got my package and inside was a note saying the MX500 512GB was out of stock so they had sent me an MX 300 1TB instead !

Result!

Just got a 128Gb SSD and a USB3/SSD adapter for a shade over £20. I think it will make a nice usable combo with the Pi4b. Now I need to look for an 1980s PC box such as a VIC20 or Atari to put them in!

[Ed P]

If you need one then according to an ElReg report, now may be a good time to buy:

“The temporary loss of manufacturing capacity will reduce global flash supplies around 24 per cent between August and October this year, we’re told, and this, in turn, may fuel short-term price rises of 5 to 10 per cent.”

[JayCeeDee]

Well, I was looking for a cheap 250Gb SSD to stick in the wife’s laptop to speed it up a bit, and the cheap £25 SSD’s of last year are now £35-£45!!

What a difference a year makes!! A complete reversal of the downward trend they were showing for the previous two years.

The world is on lock down, so production has been stopped in China since Chinese New year. It was forecast that memory chips would be going up in price.
