ebuyer are scum and their customer services department are the worst people I have ever dealt with. I had a coolermaster power supply from them. It had a 5 year warranty and was about 18 months old. Coolermaster said to return it to the seller on their site for a replacement, so i did. however eBuyer gave me a REDUCED refund because it was older than 6 months, apparently it wasn't possible to repair it or replace despite them having it in stock and it having years of warranty left. If i had sent it directly to coolermaster it would have been replaced in no time, but I trusted eBuyer. I even told them i dont want the refund and to return it too me, but they apparently had destroyed it before i had agreed to anything. They even gave me the refund as credit to start with as if i would sent a penny more with them.
If we are lucky their CS department will be killed off and replaced with competent members of the human race. Then I might go back.
I would wait until Amazon reduce it again.

Bargain! And at the moment they are giving Free Saturday Delivery (on top of the usual Free Delivery option) so you can get it tomorrow!

Its cheap as chips, so voted hot, but in reality that's a hellova lot to pay for a laptop drive, for instance, considering that the laptop itself may have only cost £200-£300. Personally, I would fit a much smaller drive. Other uses excepted :smiley:

All SATA SSD's (bar a few 3.5" ones) are the same 2.5" form factor :smiley:

you do know these are used in pc's too? I have 3 of these in my personal rig . SSD's are just a faster alternative to HDD's .

Of course, that's why I said "Other uses excepted :smiley: "
but again I wouldn't waste a sata connection on such a size, useful for the operating system but not enough storage, all my sata drives are 4 Terrabytes or larger

Would avoid Ebuyer if at all possible - due to numerous issues previously and having to argue to get a faulty item replaced. Is anyone else selling at a similar price ?

Same here, I'm hoping Amazon will price match/beat very soon.
It was £143 on a lightning deal a couple of times on Amazon but I missed it on both occasions.
Just make sure you have TRIM on the controller, or you will murder the drives!

It says £199.98 on the front page, but add it to your basket then go to checkout and use the code 'ssd' to discount it to £159.99. I've just checked and it worked for me.
