Out of stock with expected shipping date between 1 and 4 weeks but you can still place an order so quite the bargain if you don't need it straight away.
It is the previous generation Samsung SSD, however, still cheaper than both the budget 750 series (£63.98) and new 850 series (£83.68), in fact very cheap for 250GB of SSD space period.
Actually have one in my laptop right now and it is fantastic and definitely plenty fast so will make a great upgrade for any machine.

Cold, you can go into the future and pick these up for pennies.
Hot, for the non time travelers.

As an early TLC drive, this model had serious slowdown and retention problems. Would not buy it personally unless it was much cheaper.

Search "samsung 840 evo performance degradation" before you buy :wink:
I had one of these and it took two attempts for them to sort it out and that might have impacted the endurance of the drive as well.
Not sure if that last fix was even 100% as I sold the drive on. Just glad I didn't pay much for it to start with.
Too many dodgy Samsung products I think.

Thanks, was looking at the 750 which i believe this has better warranty (not that it matters cause losing data either way is annoying) but also the cashe size is double.
I can't find any other 250GB SSD for £50 - could you share the deal link please?

£50 for Samsung Evo 250G is a deal.
Hot.
Waiting for a £25 120GB deal. Will buy a few.

It definitely is a good deal if you take into account that prices have been going up rather than down in the last few months (probably cos of exchange rates). There are hardly any deals for 250GB drives (for any major brand) for £50 or less at the moment.
Of course, you may want to sit tight till Black Friday but that depends on how urgently its needed.
