Seriously cheap! Bought one, not sure I need it but it feels wrong not to have it at that price :smile:

For that price is buy one and stick in my PC at work. IT don't exactly throw good kit at us.

The HDD in my "gaming" desktop PC went pop when I turned it on the other day. I am currently unemployed and on benefit so our family are surviving on less than £115 per week. This is a deals site and I come here looking for the lowest possible price. I might just about swing it with my partner to buy a £25 SSD and put the OS on that and then try to recover some data from the HDD.

How much luck do you think I'd have if I tried to use the Nate1492 argument on my partner, and tell them that an £80 SSD offers much better value-for-money? My guess would be: no chance whatsoever :stuck_out_tongue:

Received mine today in a jiffy bag, no SATA cables but spacer is provided. Installed into the PC on the SATA3 port and these are the results:





Don't think it's that bad...my other Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB is worse than this.

Their spec sheet lists the Phison S10. not the S9.

Still waiting for mine :disappointed:

Anyone else? "Order dispatched 23rd"

This is back in stock @ 24.99 delivered at mymemory.co.uk.

Do people think this drive will be reliable? I really can't afford to have my pc go down for any length of time.

You can use the following promo code: RanChen
for 5% off making it £28.49 but this may affect cashback if you use TCB or Quidco.

Is this no longer worth it for £29.99? I'm thinking about still buying it at this price because I don't see many price drops when mymemory raises them.

That's a bummer. I cancelled mine so I could change payment details then couldn't reorder! doh..

Back in stock but they've jacked the price up! £29.99 now, not such a good deal....

that's a shame. I was hoping to store mine away, guess ill have to install it and see if its working.
received mine yesterday too, in the same packages as everyone else.

out of stock again!

There isn't a UK VAT charge on sales between EU countries. It's paid in the sending country. Switzerland isn't EU but the same rules might apply to countries in the European Economic Area?

Available again for pre-order

Un-expire?

Similar results here, comparable to my 240gb 850 evo

That's more like it!

Suggest to the other tester that perhaps the issue might therefore be USB interface related?

mine was DOA. Was going to install windows on it but wouldn't find it in bios. this is with another drive installed that is currently running windows and without.. i.e. the ssd as a line drive. tried in another pc and the same. .packed up and ready to post back.

I've never seen one printed on their stuff. Must admit I thought it's an obvious tax fiddle too, like the chinese sending you £100 gadgets putting "value £1.41 usb accessory" etc :smile:

Mine arrived in a jiffy bag too, today. Still don't have a need for it though. Will be disappointed if others find it slow as well though, I'd certainly not gaze at it sitting on the shelf in quite the same way :disappointed:

Sounds to me as if the Customs Value is just a fiddle so Customs don't charge you VAT. Although I might not sure how VAT is charged between EU countries. For online services/products I've been changed VAT. Do Amazon EU outlets add a low Customs Value when shipping? Do they add one at all?

same here thought the £14.99 thing was a bit cheeky lol unless that's their buy price so the "real" value and not the retail value.

to carl99 who's speed tested it, out of interest what sort of figures do a mechanical drive achieve for comparison? I dont know what your rights are sorry but I'd suggest ringing their CS to see what they have to say about it and say you're thinking about exercising your right to return under the distance selling regulations act

My drive arrived today.
I have tested the read/write speed on a USB3.0 enclosure and I am getting very disappointing results.
Read is about 250 and writing is slightly over 110 on crystal marks
If this is true after installing can I try and return it because they claim approx 500 for read and write

My SSD just arrived in a Jiffy bag from Switzerland (Customs Value = £14.99). OEM clear plastic packaging with Black Spacer - No Cardboard box, Instructions,Warranty etc. Made in Taiwan, Model No. = INSSD120GS625M7XP4PH

Anyone's arrived yet?

I had an Integral 64GB SSD in my M17 Alienware years ago and was great, so I just bought this as an OS for my daughters PC to run along side the 500GB hard drive, this is a cracking price.

Sure, it's not a misspelled word. It's simply the wrong word to use, spelled correctly. You weren't being pedantic, I am being pedantic. You were trying to disprove my point by pointing out a grammar error. You were using an Ad hominem logical fallacy. You 'poisoned' the well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_the_well

It's funny that you actually mention your two cost drives being more 'cost effective' yet I linked a 480GB Hard Drive that costs the same price! Look again.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/kingston-ssd-now-v300-480gb-sata3-2-5inch-ssd-79-98-ebuyer-2410730

So you can get 360GB for 70 quid. Or you can get 480GB for 80 quid! (Or 85 quid if you prefer the Sandisk).

So you are absolutely wrong about cost effectiveness here.

And again, you somehow implied that because I haven't heard of Integral, that I lost credibility. You admitted to the same lack of knowledge just now.

And I absolutely disagree with the concept that SSDs are 'getting pretty mature now'. They are a rapidly evolving drive technology with vastly new and updated hardware. HDDs are mature tech that isn't adapting fast. You can count the number of advancements on HDD drives each year on one hand. With SSDs? If you go back even 12 months you have a totally different landscape. Not to mention the wild price swings.

I agree with your point. There is a cost / performance balance you need to play while buying components. Absolutely true.

This is simply not that great in either cost nor performance. 25 quid for 120gb is 20.8p per GB. The 480gb Kingston is 16.6p per GB. The 480gb Sandisk is 17.7. The 240gb Sandisk is 18.7

And that's just looking at the size, ignoring that the Kingston and Sandisk drives are also superior performers.

Look, here's the only situation I'd buy this drive. I want a 120gb SSD and I can't spend a dime more than 25quid.

If that's not your situation, I recommend any of the other 3 SSDs I've talked about.

I can't find the 45 quid 240gb at the moment and I am going to stop looking for now, unless someone requests... But the point is unchanged, better value is out there.

You do realize I spelled every word correctly in my post, right? Are you just blindly assuming I've got a spelling error in my post? Or can you actually not spell yourself?
Also, why would you suggest running 2 SSDs instead of 1 larger one? It's been shown that larger SSDs perform better than smaller SSDs.
The Sandisk 480GB is 84.99, giving it a much better £ per GB ratio. The 240gb Sandisk is/was 44.99http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sandisk-480gb-plus-ssd-using-code-ssd-ebuyer-84-99-2411190http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/kingston-ssd-now-v300-480gb-sata3-2-5inch-ssd-79-98-ebuyer-2410730
And Integral are not a well known SSD company.
Also, this post, like the previous post, does not contain spelling errors. I don't get why that's even something you'd point out even if there was errors, but the fact there were none... That baffles me![/quote]Well as you asked "It's not 25% more elsewhere, and who really can get buy with a 120gb SSD these days?"
Yes I was being pedantic.

As for why do I have 2 SSD drives. Multiple reasons for that, hardware I've decided to keep using while buying newer and better kit, greater redundancy - if one fails I only have to reinstall\restore programs or OS, not both. Ease of cloning, I have multiple Sata600 ports, so why not use them.
While a 480GB drive may be faster, it isn't more cost effective than me still using my existing 120GB Samsung 840 Pro for my OS while using a cheap Sandisk 240GB that I picked up for £45.
Back to my original point, buying a PC component is always a balance between Cost and performance. Adding anything to the budget of an item can multiply out of control, even if you only start with one component.

As for integral, they may be newish to SSD drives, not checked their history. As a company they are a known entity for solid state media, so they aren't a new start up company joining a primordial product category. SSD drives are getting pretty mature now.

Heat added because it's a good deal, and because of your avatar.

No that is not terrible logic. I get by with 120GB drives in an i5 laptop and my i5 desktop. Why because my laptop is a surfer and my desktop uses it as an OS drive. I then use a 240GB drive for software and 2TB for storage.
If you are going to wade in belittling my sound comments. At least learn to spell better than me.
As for my logic. Every PC component has better options available for x% more. Some people choose to build to a budget.
As for integral being Unknown, then you just undermined yourself yet again. Then speed wise, any SSD is faster than a mechanical drive that many PC devices still come with. So it's an upgrade for anyone.

Available again from Tuesday at this price from MyMemory

No. I think you'll find that's just The **** game and it's pisspoor optimisation. never should of been released in the state that it's in.

IOPs?

It's presently showing as £29.99p via Amazon UK just now via this link.

Still useful in a Gamecube

​Games' storage. For example, why do people need a 1tb ps4? Games games games. :wink:

I've got a very useful 8MB SD card - a "complimentary" gift with a Canon camera a few years (or decades) ago.

Already got a Samsung Evo for my boot SSD
Got this one for favourite game storage, applications ect :smiley:

That's an amazing price! Remember paying about 400quid for a 128GB SSD for what can't be more than 6 years ago? Saying that I'm sure I have a 64MB SD Card in my man-drawer somewhere :smiley:

Heat!

And if you don't use that terrible logic, you could actually consider how much more it would be to avoid completely unheard of hardware!

It's not 25% more elsewhere, and who really can get buy with a 120gb SSD these days? Why not buy the 45 quid Sandisk on offer?

This isn't that great of deal, because I would *never* suggest to someone they buy it.

Is it the lowest cost SSD at 120gb? Yes. Would I ever suggest this? No.

I bought 128GB SSD III last year from Tesco, I guess this is good price - I doubt it will be cheaper anytime soon. Have some heat!

Any codes work for this? Plus which of Quidco and TCB gives the best cashback for this deal?

Heat OP.

Sorry, should have been clearer. To me "programs they used a lot" includes games, not just applications.

Wow didn't spot that! Ordered already with Mymem :disappointed:

You're welcome

Also sold by Amazon - its under Other Sellers on Amazon section on the right hand side

Just got amazon to price match over chat

Got 99p from TCB so only £24 :smiley: Bargain

Thank you!
3% Quidco, don't get distracted by the easter egg game and forget to order though .....

You would be silly to put programs on an SSD and then miss of Games where you receive the greatest benefit. If you put for example MS Word on an SSD it would probably speed up the initail opening by a fraction of a second, but an SSD in a game has almost continuous benefits.

Seriously cheap! Bought one, not sure I need it but it feels wrong not to have it at that price :smile:

Thanks OP! Perfect timing. I am planning to kit out a Intel NUC6i3SYH barebones for my daughter and was looking for a cheap (ish) SSD. Till now I was budgeting for the Kingston V300 on amazon for around the £34, but this saves me £10. Brilliant.

If you're not 'tech savvy' enough to handle one of the consumer orientated NAS' then you're not tech savvy enough to handle a local disk either. Don't get me wrong I know these people exist, the ones that can never find where they saved a file because they don't understand how disks, folders and desktops work.

Note that one owner/reviewer pointed out that the controller used in this is the Phison S9 which has a max transfer speed of 500 MB/s read, 200 MB/s write (Source: Official Phison PS3109-S9 ) The benchmarks screenshots from other users also concur with this lower write speed.

The quoted "Write up to 420MB/s" I'm guessing is achieved using compression, which only works on compressable data. For the uninitiated, this means you'll only achieve the lower/real write speed for almost all media files.

I've not voted either way since I never buy these kind of drives, but do recognise that it is cheap. However, caveat emptor! you get what you pay for.

Just to add some really important info on this hot deal ,that's has to be one of the most attractive stickers on an ssd.

Calculate how much your NAS uses in electricity a year and personal effort in maintaining an extra device compared with that in a 500+ GB internal disk and you know why.

Available for pre-order due in 22nd March !.

Out of stock :/

Cheers op, melted and megain I've gone for one :smiley:

An Ultra II might be faster, but the 120GB sandisk SSD plus is a fair bit slower @ 520/180 MB/s, if the Integrals maximum speeds are honest.

Stupid question alert but i've not actually done an SSD upgrade on any of my kit before - do these come with the cable as well or I will need to buy a SATA cable in addition to the drive? Going to put this in the kids old Vostro 200 which I assume will be fine as it has a SATA port on the motherboard. It's still on it's original HDD after nearly 10 years so think it's time to replace it.

Sandisk is generally a more trusted brand and their SSDs have a slightly higher transfer rate, though this won't cause much of a difference in everyday use.

i'm talking about non-tech savvy people, i don't fit into that category.

Ordered, thanks OP!

may I interest you in portable hard drive ?

people travel, take films, ISOs etc with them, some people don't have the technical knowledge to store big files on NAS' etc. still lots of reasons for lots of local storage

I'd personally wait a bit and pay the extra £6 to get a Sandisk Ultra II or SSD Plus when they're on offer but for those who need a cheap SSD now this looks like a great deal.

Seller is MyMemory - Amazon is selling for £42.02

I've got a 500GB hard drive in my laptop and it's like 95% full already, so looking for a 1TB replacement now.

I always wondered what could be the usefulness of these smaller sizes? ie, what can you use 120GB SSD for? and do you need another hard drive for storage in this case?

Thanks OP, ordered for no reason! Might change the boot drive in my server maybe or something, probably not!

Bought, thanks !

Never mind Lizard Squad, just tell HUKD'ers there's cheap tech on a site and we'll DDoS the bu@@er!

good deal cant get on the website though overwhelmed :confused: amazon have it at £29.99 FREE UK delivery amazon click here

Perfect deal , good size for a boot drive

Can this be used as an external drive connected via USB?

Thanks, ordered!

Cheap 3.5" converter if anybody's interested.


http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=262063728538&alt=web

Great find, ordered one.

I need a new os drive how big is windows 10? Could swap this out and use my Intel ssd for my main games!

needed to improve the server performance for ages - ordered. thank you!

​Ditto. A couple of Sellotape sticky fixers always does the trick for me.

This may sound silly, but can I use this in a desktop PC if it's it laptop only? If I can use it in a PC do I need anything extra like a caddy or something?

Thanks

wow this is cheap

Some cases have native 2.5" drive support, it's something worth checking before buying a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter.

Tempted to get this for my Asus K53e running Linux Mint. Should speed things up a tad.

Thanks for posting this deal OP. This will revive and old Core2Duo that's been sitting in the cupboard. :smile:

Thanks, ordered. Don't need it but couldn't resist.

I'd probably have to be seen to do some work for that to stick.

For that price is buy one and stick in my PC at work. IT don't exactly throw good kit at us.

The Sandisk is being delivered tomorrow, so can't be bothered with cancelling. Mind you, it's for my main laptop, never found it that appealing to send back a hard drive with all my personal data on it, so probably not worth the risk.

Brilliant price. Wish this was on offer last week. Bought a sandisk 128gb from a hot uk dealer (Sagor) from here for £30 to revive an old laptop. Just wanted to spend £25. This is not a complaint about Sagor he gave great service and would buy from him again.

Insanely cheap, as cheap as a 128gb flash drive or memory stick!. Just bought the Sandisk 240gb deal for £44.99, 120gb would have lasted me a while so could have gone for this.

worth getting just for the ps4? I know it's not really big but I only ever one game at a time. playing the division atm and loading times are pretty long. would this rectify the problem?

​Not really, £6 =/= £50 but I get what you mean, I'm just saying for £6 it's probably worth upgrading to a SanDisk drive which have been proven to be reliable and are slightly faster.

But, of course, if you're looking for as cheap as possible this is a great deal.

Ta nice find, will do nicely for Linux Mint

It is a good price but I bought the recent Sandisk offer which I am pleased with. It would be interesting to get some feedback from someone who buys this on speeds though for future reference

Thinking the same, but this should be good for some sensitive data backup in a portable enclosure

http://www.pcgarage.ro/ssd/integral/p4-series-120gb-sata-iii-25-inch/
reviews here look good, not sure what they say tho!

3 Year warranty, got to try it!

...That is....try the SSD..............not the warranty... :-)

Certainly better than a standard laptop drive

Hot

great price OP thanks for sharing ordered as back up drive should any fail.

Awesome price. Get that heat down you!

Great price

Woah!
