Will there be any noticeable difference between the SanDisk and the Integral? Looking to upgrade the laptops hard drive and wondered if the extra few quid for the SanDisk was worth it?

Thanks for the epic reply. I have two laptops, one is really really old, like were talking nearly 10 years old (Dell 1720) and I upgraded the RAM to 4GB and put one of those 120GB Integrals in it in order to give it to the in-laws as a computer they can do basic word processing on. It seems to have sped it up quite well and even got Win10 running on it haha!
My other laptop is my current one day to day and I have a few games on it and use it for various things.....so wondered if that was enough justification for going for the SanDisk (or even a Samsung as you mentioned) but I reckon based on your reply the Integral would be sufficient. It has two bays so can always use the old HDD as a 2nd drive in the laptop. That being said...I have an 480gb 850 EVO in my desktop and its very very fast...but as you say, cant justify the cost of putting it in my laptop really. Based on this I might go for the SanDisk and then its only about £27 on the Crucial website to upgrade my laptops RAM to 8GB and then I can sell the 6GB that's currently in there for about £16 on eBay. Jobs a goodun, nice speed increases for about £38.

Considering the price, the Integral benchmarks very well against the 850 Evo. Until you hit the cache of course. Still, for less than £24 I'm very impressed with the performance. The sequential read speeds are very high, and are actually consistently higher than all four of my 850 Evos (without RAPID of course).
I don't have any first-hand experience with the SanDisk SSDs, but I honestly can't see them being better than the Integral.
