My 2 cents on the matter. Is this a good deal? Yes, probably the best priced SSD you'll see in this entire sale.
Is it better than a Samsung 850 Evo? No BUT... this is better value for money at this price. What most people don't say (? don't realise), in real world applications, there isn't a huge difference between mid tier SSD's and top tier ones. Benchmarks for SSD's show read and write stuff 90% of users don't even understand. They are both very fast and unless you are transferring large files, you will not see a real world difference.
I own an NVME SM961, Samsung 950 pro, samsung 850 pro, samsung 850 evo, OCZ 400, crucial 300 etc. Yes my NVME are fractionally quicker but not enough for me to care about.
SSD vs mechanical drives is a whole new kettle of fish, you WILL notice a significant difference from snappier response times to everything just loading that must faster. Again, for the price, this is one of the best deals this Black Friday so far.
just bought one and wanted to post on HUKD ;] good deal :]

Me thinks yes good sir!!! :wink: Up to you at the end of the day mate but the extra space with the Crucial would be handy IMHO.

£110 for that SSD is a steal, its better in all performance and realibility aspects compared to this corsair, I say keep it all the way unless you really need the extra 250GB. I personally went for this, as I have allot of big space taking games, which I know would eat into a 500GB. Now if a 750GB Samsung 850 Evo pops up for £100 I think I hit the digital lottery :stuck_out_tongue:

I say NO dude. Samsung trounces the Crucial. I own both.
Is it for desktop? If so, the £50 will buy you a fat HDD for extra storage.

Literally went on Amazon at 12 and bought this straight away. Been wanting to replace my 250GB SSD for ages now to fit all my games on and a 750GB one for just over £100 isn't bad at all :smiley:
