They ship from Switzerland (2-4days for me) very good for the money, but if you are working with large files the write speed will tail off (slow) once the Memory cache is full (its a problem for all TLC drives (Integral isn't worst by far) Samsung Evo 850s are least affected)
With these drives though, the internals are subject to change over time.
I would normally recommend the Sandisk Plus 240GB which was the best value drive about as it used (more robust) MLC not TLC, but it now uses a different controller and cheaper, slower TLC, in the G.26 revision, but were back to £40 on Amazon Prime day last week.
Also, not much in the way of support tools for Integral drives, but they are effectively the same as the Sony branded ones so those tools may work (not tried or needed to).
I have found that these drives work well with the SSD erase feature in Paragon Hard Disk Manager, which other SSDs don't. Also, yet to have one freeze, as I get with Sandisk Plus occasionally on boot, as though its doing some housekeeping.
Best to put a price on your data (and time), Samsungs are expensive because they just work, but if you use more than one laptop like me, (that in effect halves you usage)- there is nothing wrong with Integral SSDs, but I personally would still choose a Samsung if the laptop/data was my lifeblood.

Hi popeye1
You've posted this as an instore deal. Don't think My Memory have stores (but if I'm wrong can you let us know which store it was), but if it's online do you have a link? Thanks
I've got these... great drives... clearly not for the samsung evo 850 pro person.. but a great drive nevertheless..

MM5FB code may still work, I can't check if it works as I'll end up buying one.

Have had one in an 8 yr old laptop for 3 months. Has transformed it into a very usable Win 10 machine

there is plenty from time to time in a 240gb format at less than £40. 120gb does not makes sense anymore

I think it's fine when you consider the new tablet type laptops come with only 32gb. I bought a 240gb one a few months ago and should have just got a 120gb really. All depends on what you want to store on it I suppose. If you want to store movies etc then you'll ideally want more than 240gb anyway.
