Hot hot hot. I don't even need one as my 256gb is enough, but I can't afford not to at this price!

Best deal Ive seen so far. Got mine will sell out fast I'm sure, best hurry!

would this typically be a direct swop in a laptop after cloning etc

Purchased thanks

Ordered thank you.

Wondering if I can upgrade my mac book pro with this and/or ps4

Would this be ok with Acer revo

Title is misleading... it's actually £150.00 delivered :wink:

Same as the Amazon deal the other day - great price

Missed out on the Amazon deal the other day, so many thanks for this

Absolutely unbelievable deal! Fantastic price for almost 1TB SSD! Was keeping an eye out for a good 1TB drive for my video editing PC but at this price I can upgrade to SSD :-) Ordered, thanks OP!

This was around £200 on Bespoke offers and that was cheap.

Ordered. Thanks OP.

While ordering the site shows £150 but the order details shows £149.99

I'm jesting! :laughing:

would this fit in a HP Pavilion Laptop??

If I bought this as my C drive is it a good idea to installl windows, applications and games or best to have a separate drive for games (in which case I'll buy smaller ssd)?

Great price, but might not be a good idea as it would be tempting to use for os, programs & docs where as it is recommended to keep files on a HDD (partially due to easier recovery if something goes wrong). In that case the 960gb is probably far more than anyone would ever need

are these any good though, i mean sandisk?! where's the samsung ssd deals?

Yep, my desktop has lasted 6 years and I've never built a gaming PC so.....:man:

To answer your questions, best practice varies depending on the user and the requirement. I personally like to keep my OS and apps on separate logical drives, even if on the same physical drive, but unless you know why that is you'll get very little from doing that.

Which MacBook Pro do you have?

I don't think these will be compatible with 2012 Retina onwards

I'm new to the use of ssd so can someone give any quick advice

I've got a Samsung rf711 i7 8gb ram which has a dual hdd bay and maximum 1.5tb

I've just brought a 480 gb ssd for 1 bay, is it worth putting this in the other bay with a fresh install of Windows 10 on top, or is this pointless being for be storage aspect and just keeping the current sata in their instead with the 480 ssd?

I'm just thinking j could put the 1tb in to my ps4 and then have a stupidly fast laptop

(The process of setting up a ssd or transferring from my sata to ssd I have no idea - if there is a way I can transfer win7 premium from my sata to the ssd would be ideal saving me from having to buy a op system)

Best deal of Black Friday so far.

anyone knows if this can this be used to upgrade macbook pro mid 2010?

Mines old. I've already replaced the drive once to a 1tb a few years back.

Get a 120 or 256GB SSD to drive your operating system and one of these for your applications and games. Great price

I did the same with my 2012 MBP this week. Unbelievable difference. I installed OS X via USB caddy before swapping over. Even when running over USB 2 it seemed more responsive than my previous 7200rpm that I dropped in a few years ago. Considering getting the smaller one to boost an old Core 2 Duo MBP we have in the house.

your move Amazon...

Not sure where you have your info from but its backwards....

Wonder if they actually have any stock like with the revo earlier today. :neutral_face:

​Who's your supplier? :laughing:

Don't forget £3 Quidco cashback.

Not the quickest SSD around, but a massive improvement on mechanical drives.

It's not. I don't mean it's bad practice to keep your files on a separate drive to your OS, but it's certainly not best practice to the point that you advise people to buy smaller OS drives.
In a desktop it's obviously cheaper to keep your user data on spinning rust, but it's not *better*. And with a laptop having a huge SSD is a much more convenient than plugging in external drives.

What benefit exactly do you guys think you are getting by keeping your files on a separate HDD to the OS?

Shame it won't fit inside the retina MacBook Pro. Heat added anyway.

This is perfect to install your OS AND all your games and applications. They will load really fast. Then use your regular HDD to keep your files and downloads/torrents etc. Superb price.

Unbelievable deal for nearly 1TB of SSD. Best Black Friday offer out there by far. Sure, it's no Samsung or Crucial in terms of reliability and raw specs but good luck getting a 1TB 950 Pro for this price in the next year or two.

Want for my PS4 but think I may as well wait for hybrid drives to drop down a little more.

Hybrid drives...the worst of both worlds.

Great price, ordered.

Mate I think you're trying to preach to the wrong guy.

Just got my delivery email. I chose free delivery yet it's coming tomorrow. Great service.

I find it more convenient when using a smaller SSD (currenty have 128GB) and it is better when you have a smaller SSD to leave it enough extra space and increase lifespan, as it is more able to perform garbage collection and performance degrades less. But that applies to smaller drives, not this one.

As far as keeping files separate, it's advisable to either have backups or keep files somewhat separated to reduce the loss if you have a single drive failure.
The reason I keep the OS mostly separate from files is because it makes it easier when you change OS drive or OS. While I don't do it that frequently, having everything off the OS drive means I never even need to think about whether I will lose many files. But then by the time I usually reinstall or similar I end up getting a new drive for it anyway.
Mechanical HDD -> 96GB SSD -> 128GB SSD -> 250GB SSD for my OS drives.

On my laptop I had a partition that I left on there set up by the manufacturer because then it's easier to do an OS reinstall without losing files, but it's still on the same physical drive.

Cheers OP, just ordered. Will offer more space than my current 256Gb ssd.

:laughing:


Doubling the number of drives just doubles the chance of having a drive failure - spreading data across multiple drives (without deplication/parity) is not making it safer!
High performance data centers used to be full of 15k spinning rust in RAID0 to get the required throughput, but even with the much higer $/GB of enterprise SSDs, the TCO works out a bit cheaper because you don't need so many of them to get the performance (and they're a bit more reliable) so you're not always having to swap out drives.

Ordered!! thanks op!

Was saying 56 people have added to basket when I bought this as the time... way too much ummm and rrr ing. super cheap for the price, going us this as my boot and gaming, until I can afford a Samsung 980 M.2 SSD for my x99 :smiley:

Indeed back when it was £1 Per GB I bought a 60GB drive for Windows. I now can't upgrade to Win 10 as 300meg left lol. I've bought two of these to run in Raid 0. Amazing deal

My laptop has a 7200rpm 1 TB Hitachi hd at the momeny, considering that the lappy is Sata II and not III would this SSD still be worth it or without Sata III not really?

I was just about to order. Went to the loo and when i came back it was out of stock :disappointed:((

Just had my order cancelled from a few hours ago due to stock issues, even though the stock at the time was showing greater than 99. :disappointed:

So I ordered this at 9am. cancelled. Ordered again 10am, cancelled, ordered again 12, 1 2 and 5
cancelled, cancelled cancelled

I contact support, " we had no stock"

no stock since 9am, yet the site listed it as in stock until an hout ago.


This is fraud.

The benefit of being able to reinstall the OS without data loss.

Not sure what's going on, Ebuyer says the card is declined even though there's plenty of money, phoned bank they said Ebuyer has been authed and gave me the auth code and they continue to try charging my card and "failing", so far £450 taken with no product to show!! What is going on? Support is not available on sunday either....

Strange, i ordered around 4pm and i got an email it was all processed and would be sent out.

If you worked for me I'd sack you without hesitation. You have no idea what you're spouting about. Stop digging a hole, buddy.

now for the same price at Scan.

I already mentioned that, and you can do it with partitions.

LOL, that's some constructive conversation there. Realised I have some good points or don't have the evidence to backup your incorrect assumptions? So just make up some hypothetical scenario where I've somehow got a good enough CV and interview technique to get hired working for you and then you get to fire me because you think I don't know what I'm talking about... In this dream of yours can I also be spiderman? Cheers! :smile:

As for the deal, has anyone seen them near this price anywhere else?

Good points?? I've not seen any, hence my comments.

Incorrect assumptions?! Hmmm, I'm certified in Microsoft, NetApp, VMWare, Cisco, HP and IBM technologies and have been for years. There's no assumptions on my part.

You'd never have a good enough CV to work for me.

Let's provide some substance to my comments then...

WTF?? It's not recommended to keep files on a HDD?? What are you smoking?
Nor is it recommended to keep files on a separate drive to the OS... Wow! There are plenty of instances where storing files on a separate drive to the OS is actually preferred. I wouldn't expect an enthusiast such as yourself to understand why, but this is a fact.


Good luck saving your data using partitions when you have a total drive failure.


Awesome Googling tekkers! :wink:


Lol what?? What's deplication? You mean duplication? Doubling (or increasing) the number of drives is the whole reason we have RAID... to spread or duplicate data over multiple drives, therefore decreasing the chance (in some cases) of losing data to a drive failure. If you were to use simple RAID-0 your rule would be true, but that's about it.


Again, unless you're American, quality Googling!

Let's just leave it there...
