I know just a day ago we were talking about 240GB (2.5" based SSDs though) for around this price but Black Friday/Cyber Monday is pretty much over now so we can count those crazy prices goodbye.. for now.
Came across this at Novatech. Seems to be the cheapest M.2 based SSD at the 120-128GB capacity. Great for those looking to take advantage of the cleaner M.2 form factor to keep your PC clean and cable tidy free. It's not NVMe sadly but at this price your kidding yourself!
Black PCB too so it won't stick out like a sore thumb against the black PCB of the motherboard. Most cheap M.2 SSDs are a nasty green PCB. Yuk!
Business class too - Validated for use in several of the top OEM platforms in the industry, demonstrating its endurance and ability to sustain high-volume transactions.
£37.98 collected if your in or near Portsmouth. Otherwise £40.37 delivered if you choose their cheapest shipping method which is economy.
Poor iops and write speeds I would recommend spending a bit more to get something more admirable.

AHCI M.2 SSD's like this have been a very similar price to their SATA counterparts for a while now. This isn't even a great drive, and it's not a great price. Cold!
Btw, you probably don't need this. No benefit over going for a SATA drive, and on most boards, plugging this in will disable a SATA port. For the speed benefits of M.2 (and to not lose a SATA port) you need an NVMe drive!

Better spend an extra fiver or so and get the Kingston 120gb M.2. SSD from the likes of Scan and write speeds of 500MB +
same, I'm up the road. shame to see them on the decline, I'm glad they kept the showroom open though

I got that deal for the 480GB for £80, feels like this isn't worth going for considering it's half the price for a quarter of the size. Heat non-the-less for those who missed the sales as you mentioned :smiley:
