You'll have to bear with me on this one, husband asked me to look for one of these (he's away on business), he gave me the exact details & all I did was google them & this came up as the cheapest by quite a margin @ eBuyer, when I told him the price, he thought it was decent, so thought I'd share.
240GB SSD
SATA III 6Gbps
Sequential Speed 240GB = READ 565MB/s, WRITE 490MB/s
3 Years Warranty
Choose the P Series 4 SSD to boost the performance of your existing hardware and extend its useful life. It will speed up your daily OS boot times and increase the speed of your applications, overall giving you the best experience of Solid State performance computing.
Key Benefits:
Providing an industry-leading bandwidth of more than 560MB/sec transfers, the Integral P Series 4 SSD can approach the limits of the SATA III 6Gb/s interface on large transfers.
A robust ECC algorithm corrects up to 120 bits error in 2K Byte data. Efficient bad block management and reduced write amplification further increases endurance. Drive health is monitored using an SSD-specific set of S.M.A.R.T. attributes. The combination of these techniques provides excellent data protection.
Benefits:
Enhanced performance: faster boot than HDD, faster access to applications, enhanced productivity and increased efficiency
Read up to 565MB/s*, Write up to 530MB/s*
No mechanical parts
- Highest reliability; less likely to fail than HDD
- Extreme shock resistance
- Zero noise
- No heat generation
Low power consumption - improved battery life on laptops/netbooks

No, he didn't send a link, he wrote down some stuff he wanted before he left the UK, this was one of the things he was after, he won't be home for 3 weeks, he isn't always in communication because of the nature of his job, I often find stuff for him, I like to think I'm better at finding bargains than he is, I have more time than he does.
He takes a size 11 shoe, his hobbies include mountain climbing & kayaking & he is more of a dog person than a cat person. Anything else you'd like to know, just ask :smiley:

Oh I am glad, I'm not really very good with stuff like this, clothes & kids is more my thing, but it did seem quite cheap, thanks :smiley:

Good find.
Looks like it's one of their Daily Deals so will expire at 23:59 tonight or when stocks are exhausted so get in quick.

the 128gb version I picked up for £26 really impressed. all that it claims to be.

How easy is it to transfer from my internal HDD to a ssd as I have always wanted one but have always been scared to try it.My local PC shop wants £115 for them to put a 120gb one in and to transfer the system but I think it is expensive considering the price of the drives

I bought a cable from Amazon that connects via USB2 or USB3 to the new drive. You then simply run a disk cloning program to make an identical copy of your old disk to the new SSD. It's really that easy. I used a piece of software called MiniTool Partition Wizard to get data from my Toshiba 128GB to a Crucial 240GB SSD. Obviously using USB3 will make the process quicker - it took about 25 minutes to migrate my disk
Quite easy and your local PC shop is definitely taking the **** (as pc repair shops always do).
If you want to make the job as easy as possible get yourself a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 to sata cable, use software clone HDD to SSD. A friend at work swears by AOMEI Backupper.

Cheap as chips - probably explains why Ebuyer are charging still £137 for the 850 EVO 500GB as they must be making a loss on these!

Interesting is the 120gb version is just as fast on the spec sheet. You might want the larger capacities for laptops. Where as if you are on desktop you might want the 120gb version.

I have the 120gb version, haven't used it much but I'm sure the write speed was only 100MB/S, though I know they usually increase speeds for higher capacities, if this has close to the specs its a bargain.

100MBs sounds more like a driver/interface restriction, I recently installed the 120GB model in a home server (SATA3), I get 270MBs write and 390MBs read, though raw transfer speed wasn't my motivation for getting one. So yes a bargain for the 240GB model.
