Need it? No. Bought one? Yes.

Many folks like me build very capable HTPCs or media streamers that only require 120GB OS disks - they then stream media from NAS attached servers which host the media files or from online sources.

Does that answer your comments sufficiently !

Damn HEAT, feels like brexit never happened :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers :smile:

This will get smokin hot. Thx OP.

Damn it you posted after I bought the Crucial SSD xD may consider cancelling and buying this, need to save a bit of money.

Need it? Nope. Ordered? Yep!

is this basically a hard drive which will fit in a desktop computer or is it best suited to laptops?

cool

Finally...I've been waiting for a cheap OS/boot drive for an occasional use machine for a while now.

This will be a lovely replacement for my 40GB hard disk boot drive from CEX.

Need it? No. Bought one? Yes.

Never bought from mymemory, are they ok? As been looking for a small ssd deal

Hot! Thanks, been waiting all weekend for a cheap ssd drive.

needed - yes my 5y old crucial (recon when bought) ssd has been reporting enough failures that my computer will not cleanly shut down fro the last 3 months.

For the 5 orders, did you have to use different emails?

grabbed one first thing when the email dropped, I need a dirt cheap stop-gap.
great price
*waits for pedantic kill-joy to come in and start talking slow transfer rates etc etc...*

Great price for a boot drive upgrade. I came here to list it but you'd beaten me to it.

It's going to get rather warm in here methinks! :smile:

Hot hot hot!

Got myself a bargain refurbished hp elitebook 8470p with i5-3380m & 8gb ram & was after a cheap small capacity ssd to get it running even faster.

This fits the bill perfectly.

Thanks for posting!

Fantastic deal - Heat!!!

How long does delivery from mymemory usually take?

Nice price

I've ordered a new Dell Inspiron laptop which has 1tb hdd 5400rpm... Could I buy this ssd and replace the drive? If so, how easy / difficult is it? I've never done anything like that before, I'm not a computer expert unfortunately :disappointed: any help is greatly appreciated!

Excellent.

Yes. Take the old one out and slip this in.

Great price, ssd drives seemed to have shot up in price, I remember over a year ago they dropped so much in price, then seemed try have crept up, bit this send an excellent price.

Damn HEAT, feels like brexit never happened :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers just what i need fpr my new build

Excellent, just put in a new power supply and a 750ti into an old pc. Ill get the HD cloned and work from there. Cheers

You'll have to also use a data migration tool or make a recovery image and boot disk of Windows 10 to restore from.

An absolutely smashing deal, bought one for a new build I'll be doing soon.

Got one of these for my Playstation 3 12GB a while back at this price - does the job nicely :smiley:

Replacing the drive should be simple (there's usually a bay to hold it which should be easily accessible) . Getting Windows onto the new drive is trickier: If your Dell comes with a recovery disk you could use that. You could also backup the current install using the built in Windows back up (you should use an external drive for that) and create a recovery disk too to use with that. Other alternatives are using clone software to keep the install exactly as is. However, this drive is a lot smaller in capacity than 1tb, so the existing install cannot exceed that. Assuming your Laptop won't have too much on it when it arrives though that shouldn't be an issue.

If the laptop is Windows 10 I'm not sure if the activation will still hold after changing the drive (never replaced a windows 10 one yet, but never had issues cloning/migrating Windows 7 to a new drive). If that is an issue the OEM key that should come with the laptop (sticker on the base usually) ought to be enough to deal with that.

This link was showing 16GB USB free with £10 purchase..So i spoke to live chat and they honored the deal. :smiley:

it's dead simple. you can google and find loads of guides inside, sometimes specific to your model.

I would suggest starting by shrinking the partition on your current drive down to just under the size of the SSD, for example 100gb (as if the drive is new it shouldn't have much data), using something like easus partition manager free. and then if you get a USB caddy for about £5 on ebay, stick the SSD in that, use some other free easus software to clone your old drive to the new one (again look for guides online). then remove old drive, stick in SSD and it should boot. then use easus partition manager to increase the partition to the maximum size

that saves having to make an image and/or reinstall. that's how I usually do it

then you can stick the 1tb drive in the USB caddy and use it as an external drive. just make a new partition and use the new partition as storage space and the OS partition is still there so if things go wrong you can swap drives back again and the laptop will boot from the 1tb drive

Another purchase I didn't need to make. I love and hate this website all at the same time! Thanks OP.
Don't forget 4.6% Top Cashback / 4.4% Quidco.

I just asked about that, sadly it only applies to people that ordered yesterday, it was a Black Friday deal that was extended to Sunday, it isn't valid for anyone that has made a purchase today.

No - there was no restriction on them then. I just happened to order each individually due to cashflow issues

FINALLY a 120GB SSD deal - ordered a couple on seperate orders.

Hi. This is a planar TLC drive with an enduracnce rating of 70TB writes. Spec sheet: http://www.integralmemory.com/sites/default/files/products/specifcations/Integral%20V%20Series%202.5%E2%80%99%E2%80%99%20SATA%20III%206Gbps%20SSD_Spec_Sheet_0.pdf

I just purchased this SSD at 11:45am

I cannot find it on the link.

The guy on live chat must like you, he wouldn't allow it for me.

Most likely taken down.. The rest of the website working though.. Just tell them the deal is there on this link and it might work.. Try online chat.

HOT.

Bought one.

I knew this one will be £24.99.

​Thank you so much! That helps a lot :smile:

got 1 cheers OP

It's a joke.Year ago i bought 260gb ssd for about 47 pounds,and now people are exitet about useless 120 gb

I suspect that 260GB is useless too, for that price, especially if it is of the unusual size of 260GB. I've bought many Samsung EVO 850 250GB drives, over the last year or so the price has ranged from £65-90. This drive will suit many folk, myself included who simply want a fast booting OS on an old machine that does not need to store anything and given that these lower-end drives have been hovering around the £40 mark for some time, £25 is quite a welcome reduction.

Bargain in my opinion, heat added, thanks

Useless to you, useful to many others who might find 120GB is enough for their needs, move along....

Just bought this. I was looking for a cheap boot drive as I play my games and store files on a HDD.

0.208p per gb not bad but the crucial 525gb deal was better

Agreed, and Friday's 750GB better than that, I think the fact a lot of folk just needed something cheap is the winner. I for one didn't want to put a £80-100 drive in a PC I picked up for £50.

and who can make use of 120gb?!

​yep... this ^ . It's not hard but do read up first. Ground yourself before opening your computer too, so you don't have a static charge. I used Todo EaseUS (free) software to do the cloning and it worked great. I did 3 laptops and 2 desktops for family. My upgrade to a 120gb ssd from a 1tb HDD was a little tricky to get the partition down small enough, but ok eventually. After reading up it sounded like Todo was one of the few cloning softwares to handle cloning to a smaller drive without problems. I'm a very intermediate on computers, so read up enough and you'll be fine.

anyone who doesn't store music, videos or games. Plenty of home office machines use less than 120gb of storage but could do with the speed upgrade. Plus it is not uncommon to have a small boot drive with operating system and applications then have a second larger drive or NAS/server for data.

It will be handy to have one bought at this price laying around spare for own future need or to upgrade family PCs.
Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know if I can put one of these into this, and will it be of much benefit. An old laptop I know, but I cant afford a new one at the moment...
Dell STUDIO 15 (N0653502) 2009 model
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T4200 (2.0GHz, 800MHz, 1MB cache)

Suppose for the price, it's probably the best upgrades for a low-end computer.

Wouldn't put a 120 in a nas, nor a server. Boot times on servers aren't important if you're running all apps from a 7200rpm drive.

Lads ive gone and bloody done it. Snapped one up.

I am a tech noop - I know how to physically put this in my laptop cos i saw a youtube video... BUT ... my understanding is i need to migrate windows from my old HDD onto this? I need some sort of USB adapter and to download EaseUS todo software?

My NAS has a 120GB SSD in it. Alongside 5x4TB drives that is...

Ordered thanks

In the past I have done it by using the option available in windows to create a setup disk on dvds or a usb. I haven't tried it recently since I updated to windows 10 but I suspect it should be something similar.

Someone doesn't know what a cache drive is for.

cache drive in a NAS= waste of money
cache drive in a server= waste of money

Just invest in a proper setup and you won't need that nonsense.

SSD waste of money... invest in a proper setup.

For 99% of uses and 99% of users, the SSD is the proper setup. But I'd love to know what 'proper setup' you would recommend for less than 25 notes...

Hahahahahahaha.

you don't necessarily have to, it depends on your setup. if it's a desktop you may be able to connect both drives at the same time as long as you have the cables. most laptops only take 1 drive internally so a ' 2.5" sata usb caddy ' (google or search that in ebay) would let you connect the second drive externally

typically it's easier to connect the new drive externally first then run software to copy the old windows install to it and then swap the drives around, and as long as you've done it right it should work. as long as you read what you are doing and click the right options it should work

one thing that can cause issues is if you are moving from a bigger size drive/partition to a smaller one. the trick is to delete unnecessary stuff or move it to another drive like flashdrive, clean out unneeded temp files (run diskcleanup - windows inbuilt software) and then shrink the partition down, then clone the drive then make the partition bigger and move back stuff you had to take off - as long as you have space to do it

Last time I bought a Hard-drive from them, it took around 5 days and it came from Switzerland.

25 notes is a minimum £125, we do not have £1 notes.
a bit pedantic I know but that saying really grinds my gears when people mean £25

If only my laptop had space for a third drive...

Cool story bro......

I have just ordered it and was wondering does this come with a bracket so it fits 3.5?

My PC is the Inspiron 530 and am even wondering if it will work.

Also if it doesn't come with a bracket, what bracket can I buy that is cheap?

Thanks

Does anyone know if this would work in a MacBook Pro 13" mid-2010?

We still have have £1 notes here, and they are very nice, mate! (I live on the Isle of Man). So have Jersey and Guernsey. All the same value as a Bank of England pound.

:-)

It does not come with a bracket, I recently used one of these which for £2 was surprisingly OK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-to-3-5-SSD-to-HDD-Screw-less-Mounting-Adapter-Bracket-Hard-Drive-Holder-/190827395169

Thank you i am using laptop Lenovo g500s.. would this do the job of usb caddy?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Serial-Adapter-Cable-Laptop-Drive/dp/B0182C8Z40/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480349125&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+2.0+to+sata

Some of the responses on the reviews seem to indicate so (I think :smile:)

OOS now, missed it.

Blast nearly another bit of computer kit I do not need but have to purchase.

missed it. its expired now for sure :smiley:

it should do yeah, and it's about the cheapest option you can get even on ebay (within a few pence). just check it's a UK supplier unless you want to wait till the new year for it to come from china

if you want to resuse the old drive as an external one I'd suggest paying a pound or two more and getting a cheap caddy so the drive is covered up. that cable will work but gives no protection to the drive so only really suitable for the odd job of transferring data. certainly on ebay you should get one for around a fiver for a UK supplier, maybe on amazon too

Need it? Yes. Bought one? No

Many folks like me build very capable HTPCs or media streamers that only require 120GB OS disks - they then stream media from NAS attached servers which host the media files or from online sources.

Does that answer your comments sufficiently !

Appreciate your help. If it doesnt work i will get a caddy

Great... has the SSD in my cart, then looked for a 128GB USB drive to add to the order... SSD is gone and showing out of stock... what a crappy cart system they have. Lesson learnt.

Thanks, I've just ordered one!

Doesn't change the fact that it's a waste and offers very little, if any benefit other than boot times for something like a htpc.

you can thank the greedy ones who make multiple accounts and buy way more than 1

120GB as system drive / swap drive, original 1TB drive (in my case) for storage, replacing the optical drive. Faster boot and day-to-day use, no fragmentation, less susceptible to drops, important files backed up on cloud storage...

It might be a waste to you but not for all of us. I bought one to replace HDD in my son's i3 laptop. I don't need a lot of storage just need a performance boost. I have plenty network storage or I can always replace cd-drive with a caddy with 1TB drive - but I don't need any of that for now.

Wii this fit in the Panny smart TV slot?

I learn something new everyday :smiley:

Scotland have £1 notes too I believe...

Back in as I just ordered one!
Cheers OP!

Scotland no longer have £1 notes

Shame :disappointed: you learn something new everyday :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone know why my paypal is showing this as a £26.48 transaction?

Did you pay the £1.49 for priority dispatch? I did and my order total was £26.48.

it selected £1.49 postage for me by default. I changed it to free and still got a dispatch email today.

Ironically enough I've still not received a dispatch email. Probably a waste of £1.49. Oh well.....

Im so gutted I missed out on this. I was waiting to get home before placing an order!

​can you point me towards another (new) drive that's cheaper and offers any benefit over this one?

This is faster, quieter, cheaper and uses less power than a mechanical drive so I can't see any reason not to use one in an HTPC or any other build.

I will be using the drive as a dump for photoshop files and screen capture. Cheap and easy. :smiley:

Point was:
--this SSD 50£ for 240 gb (120+120) - double space
--my SSD 47£ for 260 gb - good model ---and ONE YEAR AGO I BOUGHT IT -- so point was that year pass and price just increase,but people here exited
-- samsung evo maybe a bit better but much more expencive 250 gb 65-90£ from your words

Anyone wanting to Neverware an old netbook on the cheap?

Thanks op! I bought a couple of the P series Integral ssds much earlier this year, and have recently been looking around for another one to replace a dying boot hdd. I was dismayed to see prices for 120gb ssd had doubled, so when I saw this thread yesterday I quickly ordered. Just got an email saying my order has been dispatched.

RBS still issues them. Just.

Anyone had a delivery yet? Mine was posted Monday but I guess they come from Jersey.

I ordered one Monday morning, not paying the extra £1.49 for speedier delivery.
Dispatched on Tuesday according to mymemory.
Delivered by the postman today (Friday).
The postmark and the delivery note show it to be coming from CH-8575 Bürglen in Switzerland ("Accelerated, Bulk Airmail").
The jiffy envelope bears a customs declaration with total customs value £14.99
The SSD is in a protective plastic blister pack which is just put into the jiffy mailing envelope.
All seems to be okay, but untested as yet.

ditto

Had my other order cancelled - as expected ! Shame as I needed two.

mine was delivered wednesday using the free delivery option, was surprised it arrived so quick

getting worried now then, no sign of mine.

No need to be worried. I had other deliveries from mymemory coming from Switzerland take longer. Last one was a bit more than two weeks. All on the standard free delivery.

This one was exceptionally swift. My understanding is - based on some hear-say from a mate at Royal Mail - that it depends on Heathrow IDC (the RM international delivery hub) and their workload/priorities/mood on the day if this container load still gets done immediately or if it is not yet and put at the back. Also HMCR might release one container early or another one is delayed by them (coming from Switzerland means customs control, although a lot is waved through, they always like to check some).

Been a week now since paying for rapid dispatch. Fingers crossed it comes soon, as I have to wait about a week for my old PC to boot up.

Arrived in the last few minutes return address Switzerland. No cables, just the drive but as expected, and in a small brown jiffy and a plastic inner case. Thanks, MyMemory.

Anyone who's got there's tried it out? Still waiting for mine.

Mine arrived last week. Installed it into my laptop and loaded on Windows 10.

After receiving a dispatch email last Tuesday my SSD was delivered this morning by the posty.

I have installed it in my Dell e6230 laptop in place of the existing drive. I then installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I had a problem booting from the drive, I was receiving an error message of the form 'No bootable devices - strike F1 to retry boot etc.' (and it booted fine when pressing F1). This was fixed by changing the drive mode from raid to ahci in the bios and now working as expected.

Mine arrived today, installed W7 on an old HP Elite 8000 USDT with a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM and it is really quick. A couple of times on power on the PC didn't see the HDD, not sure if I should be worried.

Has anyone had any Heat Temperature problems with this drive (Integral 120GB V Series 2.5" Sata III 6Gbps SSD)?

Using software like Speccy to check the temps, Mine always reads over 40C, even though all my other drives are only in their 20's - I've touched the SSD with my hand and it's fine - not even warm but reading over 40C which is clearly isn't in real life.

And note this is 44C right now without even being accessed. Whilst the Sandisk SSD running windows 8.1 and actively being used only read 26C.

anyone buy this and not need it that wants to sell?

Sorry mate
I did buy one for my operating system and it works well nice and fast startup i was going to get a upgrade to a larger ssd for my games but the prices are ridiculous at the moment and no sign of coming down anytime soon.
