i think youre missing the point, its a 480gd SSD for 90 quid... if you want the performance youre talking about youre looking at £150+.... 90 quid for a 480 ssd is a good deal i think

Prob. the best 480/500GB deal today. This is a better drive than OCZ and SanDisk PLUS drives that were popular couple of weeks back.

depends on your definition of deal
lowest price? check
best read/write speed & IOPS? no
best price to performance ratio? mmm not really
Frankly, buying one of these drives today and getting excited is like buying a horse and buggy for 20% less than a car and getting excited that you don't need to walk anymore
You're just buying 3 year old technology that has come down in price as it nears the mainstream (not quite obsolescence - SATA 3 is still a few years away from that)

Good deal but not as good as Samsung evo 850 500gb ssd for the same price but then it's not Black Friday. Heat added

90 quid for a 480GB SSD that was 85 quid a week ago... Not such a great price!
Yes, it's the cheapest at the moment, but SSD deals happen weekly if not daily.
Also, good performance SSDs at 480GB, the Samsung Evo 500 GB is 110 and the 1 TB is 197 atm.
20 quid more for the Evo, or double up the size and spend 17 more.
Don't forget you get 20 more GB on the Evo. Not completely irrelevant.

First 85 weeks ago but not right now or today or tomorrow. Whatever deal posted yesterday doesn't matter because you are not getting that £85 today, so today this is the best deal for 480GB.
So next part (Boot Windows, Run Apps or Games) they all work exactly same on 850 EVO or 850 PRO or this one.
I have all three right now and they all performing similar and I hate to say that I wasted my money on SAMSUNG.
And last one why not we spent £17 more and + £17 more and + more so we can get Intel 750 PCIE :wink:
Have a good day my friend.

So your guess at 150+ is off by a lot.
20 quid more for the Evo, or double up the size and spend 17 more.
