eBuyer have just released a code SSD that brings this SanDisk 960GB Ultra II SATAIII 2.5inch SSD down to £149.99 - seems to be the cheapest around at the mo but am sure Amazon will price match at some point. Code is only valid until midnight. Excellent reviews
Up to 28 times better performance than a typical hard disk drive
No-wait boot up and shut down
Faster app load and response times
Interface: SATA Revision 3.0 (6 Gb/s)
Fast Boot-Up, Fast Loading, Fast Transfer
Thanks to the innovations in our nCacheTM 2.0 technology, SanDisk Ultra II SSD literally does every task faster than a typical hard disk drive. What used to take minutes happens in just a few seconds. On a whole range of important metrics, SanDisk Ultra II SSD performs up to 28 times better than the hard disk drive you're using now.
Huge Storage Capacity, Built In
You keep lots of music, photos and videos on your PC. You also use it for socializing, shopping, banking, email and your online classes. With SanDisk Ultra II SSD, you can add enough capacity for everything you do on your computer, up to a monster 960GB, and still have room to spare.

Good price but remember this is a low end SSD. For most people it'll be absolutely fine and is certainly a good upgrade if you're coming from a hard drive.
The key factor is whether you write more than 12GB (is that the slc cache size for this model?) at any one time. If so you'll exceed the cache and writes will slow down. Probably only applies to 4K video editors or server workloads.

It's quite a poor performing ssd, I personally use this as a second ssd to put my games on and use something like a Samsung as a boot drive.
If you're coming from a hard drive, fine get it, if you have a premium ssd and want more storage I wouldn't use it as a boot drive

Read the first post. Use the code "SSD" at the checkout and it's at £149.99

bought this on Amazon in january at £150. surely after 6 months prices should be lower now. It is definitely quick enough though,got it im a laptop and it flies.not voted either way.

I got one a few weeks back, same price, same retailer. Awesome piece of kit for my (relatively undemanding) needs.
I simply can't believe I now have 1Tb of solid state storage in my cheapy cheap set-up that has been inspired mostly by HUKD deals! I started work in 1992, which was when the world's first terabyte databases were built (by WalMart and CapitalOne, I believe) at huge expense. Just amazing.
