NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS RESTRICTED TO ONE PER CUSTOMER.
The Integral V Series SSD offers great performance, reliability and value. It is ideal for use in desktops and laptops where you are looking to boost the speed of an older computer by replacing the hard drive with a Solid State Drive. The V Series will deliver faster data read/write speeds along with low power operation - extending the battery life of your laptop.
Cheapest price i can find for a 120Gb SSD at the current time.
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 !

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

28 Nov 16#71
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

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.

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.
CelicaGT-Four
28 Nov 161#57
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.

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.

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

28 Nov 16#34
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.

Some of the responses on the reviews seem to indicate so (I think :smile:)
:-)
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
a bit pedantic I know but that saying really grinds my gears when people mean £25
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
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...
cache drive in a server= waste of money
Just invest in a proper setup and you won't need that nonsense.
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?
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.

Thanks.
Bought one.
I knew this one will be £24.99.
Don't forget 4.6% Top Cashback / 4.4% Quidco.
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
This link was showing 16GB USB free with £10 purchase..So i spoke to live chat and they honored the deal. :smiley:
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.
You'll have to also use a data migration tool or make a recovery image and boot disk of Windows 10 to restore from.
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!
It's going to get rather warm in here methinks! :smile:
great price
*waits for pedantic kill-joy to come in and start talking slow transfer rates etc etc...*
