hey this is just to update people about tricksters post last week on the integral 120gb ssd, it sold out quickly but mymemory have reposted it as a new listing. All credit to trickster for the original find. hopefully if you missed it last week or like me wondered if I needed it for too long then it was sold out, you'll be able to pick one up.

Did it come with a container or did you have to provide your own?

Yeh I bought a pint of milk this morning and it came without the cow.
What are people's opinions on the reliability of this drive? I am tempted by the price, but can't afford to spend time repairing my pc if it fails.

Manufacturer has faith to provide 3 year warranty. TBH, it's only 120GB so would take only a few mins if you had to restore the entire drive from a backup.

Any drive can fail. Even one which everyone says is reliable.
If you can't afford downtime then use RAID 1 and take regular backups and/or system images.

Purchased for my recently salvaged Acer laptop not worried too much about reliability as I'll be keeping my dell laptop for running window 7 and iTunes (syncing my large collection of songs) onto to my iPod until I can afford a decent gaming pc

I bought one on mymemory when it was still £25. Haven't used it yet but fyi this doesn't come with data and power cables.

Internal drives never ever come with cables.

Do they ever? Power cables are a part of your PSU and won't come with any device really. Not known Sata cables to come with harddrives either!

Not the fastest but I will be running this at sata II speed so hot for me.
Ordered, thanks OP :smiley:

Bought when last recently posted. I had no spare SATA and power in the PC so just did a straight swap of Win10 (free upgrade from Win7) HDD with the SSD and a clean Win10 install. Digital Entitlement kicked in and activated the new installation. My Plex media server now flies like ****-of-a-shovel. Very happy. Reliabality remains to be proven.

According to their scrambled description:
120GB = READ 565MB/s, WRITE 420MB/s

BE CAREFUL WITH THEM - I'VE GOT MINE AND WRITE SPEEDS JUST ABOUT 70MB/s!!!!!!! Read speeds fine - about 400MB/s
