Solid drives with a decent amount of space to boot. Had a 120gb as a boot drive and it wan't quite enough. 240gb seemed about right but I'm growing out of that now, even with the extra HHDs in. Going for this for sure now, silly price with the code.

Umm...why not this for £86.98 ? Because Intel has a 5-year limited warranty vs 3-year limited warranty?
If anyone is seriously considering the Toshiba, well 8 out of 52 Amazon reviews report failure.
I don't want a 15% chance of losing my data in the first few weeks of ownership.
No point taking all the trouble & risk. Pay up for an Intel or Samsung.

Pretty sure not every single person that bought one reported it as working on an Amazon review. Pretty sure it won't be anywhere near 15% failure rate.
Samsung? Every single 840 evo drive has a design flaw that causes it go stupidly slow over time.
I decided to put CUK20 to a better use and went for a Samsung 950 Pro 512GB PCIe SSD for 167 (down from 245 lowest retail)
Thanks mods! This is the only reason Thursday is better than Friday :smiley: and it's also my birthday present to myself for next weekend
