Still doesn't mean it's free to the people who don't have that, just misinforming is all

Thanks OP, hot price :smiley:
Would anyone please explain how to get free delivery from scan? All google searches point to free delivery being discontinued a while back. Thanks in advance

Mega delivery charges for a small item from Scan as always. I never buy from for simply ripping off their customers.
The SKhynix data migration tool worked a treat for me, took about 4 clicks in windows 10 to migrate OS with system running. Powered off PC disconnected hdd and booted off ssd. Could not have imagined how easy it was. Very happy with mine, got it for £45 frm Novatech added sata cable for foc del (£50 spend @ Novatech)

Great find. How do these drives compare to the Samsung EVO etc? I currently have a 120GB OCZ Agility 3 that I would like to upgrade. Many thanks :wink:
These use TLC so shorter life span potentially but if your not churning 100's of gb a day not an issue. Just guessing but should be ok for 15-40gb a day for 5 years. More expensive Samsung drives using MLC might be able to write 2-3 times more data before it kills over but their TLC ones are probably similar. Sometimes its nice to spend an extra £10 for an Evo for peace of mind but I didnt as our PC is only used a few hours a day and I back up the SDD anyway, also think it has a three year warranty. Sometime there will be performance advantages to spending more but for most users theres no notable difference.

Samsung Evo SSDs are also TLC, whereas their Pro are MLC.

Am I being thick (okay, probably I am)?
I've gone to the warranty link from the included manual to see how I go about registering and it has this-
WARRANTY
Product Certification
Certify your SSD product and enjoy the 3-year warranty, various tools,
customer support services, and more
Warranty Statement Download
Benefits of Certifying Your SK hynix SSD
+ After sales service and guaranteed repairs
+ Product updating tools
+ SK hynix’s certificate of authenticity
The only link is to the manual/warranty statement.
How on earth do you go about "certifying" your product and getting your "certificate" to give you access to the warranty?
