The 480GB has even better cost performance per £ if you want a bigger drive.

Anyone looking into this just be aware of reviews where quite a no. Of people say drive failed soon after buying... Not voted either way...

Wow - very surprised, always thought Toshiba HDs were good - have they outsourced manufacture on this one??

Toshiba purchased OCZ. Their realibility has got better so of you just want a boot drive where failure isn't the end of the world, then fine. Otherwise I really wouldn't bother. Used 100's of Toshiba and OCZ drives at work (purchased before I arrived) and the failure rate is so much higher than other brands we have such as Samsung, Kingston and Crucial.

Quite a number of Q300 and trion 100 drives failed due to a glitch in firmware v11.1. This can be fixed by firmware v11.2. I think the Q300 2016 version comes with newer firmware by default.

Reviews show very high failure rate.one reviewer bought 5 and 3 failed within days.that's product recall grade of failure imo.
comparred to say Samsung these Toshibas have significantly higher failure rate.and much shorter warranty.
I'd definitely avoid this brand for now.

I wonder if they were all old stock with the bad firmware.

Possible..but I wouldn't risk it.I'd stick to Samsung or maybe Sandisk.
