For anyone that's interested, this is an excellent drive for use as an external Xbox One storage drive. the 250 GB model also works despite the Xbox documentation saying that 256 GB is the minimum.
Mine arrived this week. Forza Horizon 2 load time from start menu to playable in-game went from 1:09 to 0:26.

No PS4 games use the disc during normal play. It'll initially install the entire contents of the disc to the HDD/SSD and after that all reads will be from the HDD/SSD and not the ODD. There's absolutely no difference in performance with disc games vs digital.
I tried putting a 240GB SSD in my PS4 ages ago and didn't feel the performance gains were worth it against the lack of space and constant deleting of games, but 500GB is a bit more appealing...

the pro is not a desktop drive. The pro has better performance and has a 10 year warranty.....
So its you pay extra for the warranty...

Pro is also a desktop drive and not worth the cost, just go with EVOs.

PS4 has a Sata 2 port, you need Sata 3 to get the most out of an SSD. The boost in performance is not noticeable, I have already tried twice and reverted back. Save your money. Unless you have a PC then buy 10.

Yes, some are. But on the whole not really worth the time invested in re-downloading every game and update you've ever had, especially for zero space gain, which for me is more important now I'm at around 400gb.
1tb I could be tempted.

Last night I installed the 120GB Samsung Evo 850 in my Toshiba Satellite L50 (also from a deal on here!). I'm very happy with the performance (speed) so far, I'm getting >8 hours battery life and it's running near silent now!
I used Samsungs Magician software to optimise the drive and ran a performance test...it says I'm getting ~5mb/s faster than the stated sequential read and write and times, so I'm obviously happy with that.
If it helps anyone, the Samsung transfer software didn't work when cloning via a USB enclosure though...you need a simple USB to SATA3 cable. Instead I used Todo EaseUS free software and it worked great. I've now installed SSD's on two laptops and a Dell pro 6000 SFF desktop... very happy with the performance boost on all of them.
Some games e.g. Bloodborne are meant to be much quicker to load.

You see slight differences in digital games load times, and starting it up, but it's still just seconds. The problem is with the disc games, because it's still the slow disc drive holding the system back. It's just not enough to pay £100 for.

Damn... Was not gonna upgrade the PS4 hdd. Couldn't resist at this price.

How's this an upgrade from an existing ps4 drive ? Your not going to see much of a speed increase like you do in a pc , and the sizes are the same

It makes very little difference to warrant swapping to a same size SSD imo.

I think you mean "net" cost after deductions, the total cost is still £99. (If your item broke and you had to claim refund, you would be claming for a total refund of your total cost, not £6.) However you think is free is up to yourself personally.

One of the best SSD on SATA 3 (only those PCIe MacBooks are faster)

Considering that the cashback was free for me (insurance cashback for family and friends) - my total cost was £6.

Ended up ordering - had £99 sitting in my TopCashBack account - £6 total cost.

Surely "total cost" is still £99, unless you have unleant the common usage of the word, total.

While that's true to an extent, the difference in performance of m.2 is big enough that if you don't really need the capacity right now it's probably worth the wait.

Remember that amd will have m.2 pcie slots as early as march with the am4 platform, this will cause intel to influx the market with more intel m.2 products.
so if you plan to upgrade this year, then maybe waiting for even faster m.2 products

This isn't guaranteed to be true and if you waited for the next best thing you'd never buy anything.

Fantastic price.
Paid £140 for this June 2015, worth every penny. Suspect the new version will come out fairly soon, but even so - well worth it.

Ffs, couldn't find this below £120 when amazon had the £10 voucher, so went for a 1tb WD black. And now there's a deal on this. Typical :disappointed:

Showing as £105 with delivery for me - how do you get it down to the £99 delivered?
