Tell that to the pound :laughing:

Give it a rest ffs.

Was also the P version

Was 25£ before brexit lol

Just like the marvelous future of the EU with Portuguese, Spanish, Italians, Greeks etc who have unemployment rates of around 20-27%? and Youth unemployment at ~50%... Sure..

why has this been voted cold?

not from me 4% cashback

been looking for a decent SSD to install as a boot drive as Windows 10 seems to take forever to get going so this will do nicely. Heated from me :smiley:

Great price.

Heated.

ffs .. went through TCB, clicked to complete the order and it went through card verification and bounced it with a "Not Found" error and yet still took the bloody money without actually completing the order as it's still sitting in the basket.

Great

Got this delivered yesterday. Swapped a wd blue 1tb out as only used 30gb of it and even though my lenovo laptop has i5 and 8gb ram it was sluggish on win 10 but it flies now. The difference is amazing. I was sceptical that they made much difference but they do so much. It boots form cold in around 5 seconds too.

If anybody's in two minds about going for one of these, just buy it. Speed tests compare favourably to Samsung 850 Evos, unless you're dealing with very large file transfers of course. Well worth £30 if you're in the market for a small SSD.

Was 25£ before brexit lol

will be £40 or so next year when inflation hits us

Wow what a bargain! I don't need one and am tempted :smile::smile::smile::smile:

Must resist. Voted hot.

Was also the P version you.........

Ah yes that would have been the P series. Brain fart on my part there. Not sure how much I paid for the V series, but my recommendation still stands. Both are excellent drives for the price.

They also have the 240gb version for £55. I need one but can't decide which to get? Never fitted one before so hopefully will be fairly straightforward

that's good to know - didn't fancy fannying around doing a mass re-install

is the v version the new one, why's it slower that the p

pssssst! Brexit hasn't happened yet...

Thanks OP, wanted one for a recent desktop purchase.

​Just download macrium reflex free. Plug ssd into an external enclosure and hit clone. You just choose all or whichever partitions you want to clone and then the ssd as target and thats it. Just swap drives and turn on.

whats people opinions on the 480gb p version ?
A weak pound is great for us in euroland:)

​Does this in any way affect performance? I usually go the fresh install route to avoid problems but having to reinstall everything is a hassle.

Ordered one as a spare SSD in case one of my others fails. Thanks OP

Clean install will always be best (although updating can be a hassle and occasional validation issues). But depends how clean a system you run I guess. I don't think the performance difference would be noticeable either way.

If you do find yourself reinstalling check out Ninite. Might save you a bit of time with some common programs.

​I did a clean install around 6 weeks ago so it was running sweet anyhow. If your system is running well I can't see a reason to do a clean install myself. Took less than an hour Inc changing drives which is not the simplest of tasks on this yoga laptop as no simple cover to get at the hard drive.

Is that the genuine reason why SSD prices are pretty poor lately, cos of Brexit?

Should say no performance issues. It's just plain fast and better than it's ever been. It's around 12 month old and got it for my teenage son last Christmas but he just bought an n22 chromebook as he was fed up with its sluggishness. He gave it to me and even after clean install it annoyed me. Not now it's got ssd in it though.

Excellent will do for my shiny new HD51 i received today

Thanks OP

V series
- Read up to 540MB/s, Write up to 370MB/s
P series
Read up to 565MB/s*; Write up to 420MB/s*
or Read up to 515MB/s; Write up to 470MB/s depending on which spec you believe
So it costs more than the 23.99 p series and maybe slower read and slower Write
Meh
Thanks Brexit.

I got the p one for my daughters laptop wish it would go that cheap again need another now

I really can't see any use for this device. 120gb isn't big enough for a C drive for the OS in my opinion; not if you don't always want to be worried about filling it up. And it's only good for two AAA titles at 60gb each.

Oooh touchy!

(PS I don't give a flying duck about brexit)

For a system with just 1 drive, say a laptop, I'd say 120GB is pushing it, for me. For a desktop though, it's perfectly fine. That's if you have a drive for games, drive for media, etc.

​I use a 120GB on my main PC, my work PC and my Mac. I haven't had any problems. I also have a ~10GB Dropbox account synced between these three. Don't see what you're fussing about here, it just takes some discipline when it comes to housekeeping and not accumulating clutter.

if you have not used quidco before, you can get 10 pounds off this using This Link

I think you missed the point entirely. A 120GB SSD isn't going to store many peoples Steam game collection is it? If you think I was fussing maybe you should read the quotes in my comment.

What makes it even more of a pain is that you can't get in touch with them until monday. The bank have reassured me that they'll handle it though. They said they can refund me the money and then dispute the transaction if need be.


Exactly - that's the whole point of using it as a boot drive. You keep your OS and your basic system requirements on this drive and install your other stuff on your main drive, although I do get it if you're only looking at this as a sole drive though.

To an extent you can ignore the differences in quoted speeds. They are best case scenario speeds that you won't achieve in normal use. I honestly don't think many people - and certainly not the average user - would notice a difference between the two in a blind test. This is a good SSD for the price.

If I understand this correctly, you get cashback the 2nd time you buy something from MyMemory, so if you buy the ssd, you will not be getting a discount for this purchase, but for your next one?

​Not everyone needs massive storage. I have no music collection and don't play games and use my laptop mainly for internet use. Everything I want and need is already on my laptop now. I cloned the 1tb drive to this and with the C drive and original factory restore partition it used 31g in total. I will never fill it.

I could get away with using a 32gb chromebook really but would miss just the odd thing.

​maths*

Since installing Windows 10, I keep getting the blue screen of death on a frequent basis and always when I'm in the middle of doing something and the laptop restarts itself, very annoying. Any opinions on whether changing my old hard drive to this new SSD will cure the problem of constant BSOD issues.

thanks, ordered. Been meaning to get one for ages but the deals had all dried up.

Not in itself I suspect unless you think something is wrong with the HDD.
Suggest:
Test the HDD https://www.lifewire.com/free-hard-drive-testing-programs-2626183
Try a Settings>Recovery>Reset this PC (if you have not already) http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/operating-systems/1403794/how-to-reset-windows-10-to-factory-settings

​​​I agree for Laptops it's another case, since you only have space for one drive. So a higher capacity SSD makes sense

+1 for Macrium reflect. 1tb hdd shrunk/cloned to 240Gb v series ssd and win10 laptop much much faster to boot/hibernate/shutdown as well as general workflow. Great investment at a shade under £55.

We have a brexiter in our ranks. Well done, sir. All of UK population looking forward to the marvelous future by the decision made by 37.5% of us.

Could this work in a MacBook Pro 2011 swapping existing drive out?

​or maybe just bored to death of Brexit being bought into every conversation?

​you might have a dodgy memory chip

I doubt it the Moore's Law rate of change moves at a much faster rate than currency changes.

I have this for a while now and very good drive. My NB boots like instantly with it. (2nd Gen Core i7, 8GB)

Please do some research, the pound has fallen many many times under our membership of the EEC/EU.

Just like the marvelous future of the EU with Portuguese, Spanish, Italians, Greeks etc who have unemployment rates of around 20-27%? and Youth unemployment at ~50%... Sure..

You people seem to think by trying to out people or going on about it is going to make a difference, the fact is, it won't, you just look stupid for going on and on about a decision that is now out of your hands

Nice one

The Integral P series is comparable to the Samsung 850 EVO, this is the V series.

Expensive for what it is.

You won't find another half decent SSD of this capacity at this price right now.

I'd pay £100 for this harddrive as long as I had secured a future for my people, my race and my grandchildren.

I bought the P series earlier this year and have loaded all my adobe suite on them and it works brilliant. got a 256gb for windows 10, which loads from the moment i press the on button to windows login screen in 6.4 seconds. I have a i7 4th generation 4ghz computer.

We'll wait and see how that works out..

Maybe not right now, but black friday coming. £30 for 120gb is about where it should be.

Why do brexiters get all pissy when someone mentions a negative impact of the vote?

You made your bed, now sleep in it.

You pick out the "math" from a well known saying yet ignore the "U"!? :neutral_face:

Lancing a boil always hurts. The only pissy one here is you Sir.

Does that work if your source partition is larger than your target drive? I find Windows won't generally let you shrink a partition much without lots of messing around to get rid of "unmovable" files.

I cwud reed and white be4 bwexxit. Damm u brwexxet.

Isn't that exactly what my comments says, preaching about brexit on a hukd thread is going to make so much difference isn't it, go back to not contributing to the site

​Not sure as to be honest if my source drive had more on it than 120gb I would have gone for a larger drive. But since I only used 31gb in total Inc all my programs and data and all partitions on a 1tb drive I could see I did not need anything bigger.

The laptops I used can take 2 HD's. I bought 2 of these and I vote LEAVE.

Tootle pip!

#SunderlandSavedTheNation

Well in this particular situation I'm much like a hermaphrodite in that I have both the P and V. The actual speeds are close under test conditions and almost indiscernible when in use. The V is also significantly ahead of other budget SSDs I have (Crucial and SanDisk).

Nah, I like the banter here. It's one of the best things about hukd imo

I am still holding up for Black Friday and Christmas.

Normally there are quite some good deals on SSD around those time.

I would think if this drive could do all that you should probably be willing to pay more than that!

I stuck one of these in my 10 year old Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop (designed for XP, capable of Vista, chortle) a while ago, running Windows 10 Ultimate no problems, boot time 35 seconds.

I'll quote myself and make a word bold so you can understand.

Quite a few heads got whooshed over by this comment. Oh my days. Thank god we'll soon be cleansing the world of Liberal opinion.

Lol thanks for that. I did not see the words for me as I read it that fast. But as I say thanks again.

I also had the order say "not found" on ordering and got charged, the item is still in the cart. MasterCard payment method. Put the detail and CVV in. Another page came up to say being redirected to the bank. Final 'not found' URL was https://www.mymemory.co.uk/payment/paypal/pro/return.php (mentions PayPal even though I wasn't using it for payment).

What did others do? Did they sort it out?

Maths...

How can you tell if you have a dodgy memory chip or not

Thanks Op

How big's the board in these? I ask because I just had to cut a 2.5" SSD in half to fit in an awkward space and that was only possible because the board was maybe 1/3rd the length of the 2.5" form factor.

​I've sold about 400pcs with a 120gb ssd, maybe 20 with a 240, 10 with a 500gb and 2 with 1tb Normal drives most people don't need more than 120gb, you can fit a second larger mechanical drive if you have a lot of stuff

I have a Seagate ST500LT012. would this be a good upgrade?

I put a SSD into a sluggish Dell laptop yesterday and it now literally flies, I'm going to install one into my main pc, well worth the money

​If you don't need the space it's a massive upgrade your laptop will run 3 or 4x faster

is there a guide available for anyone who has everything on a 1tb drive and nearly filled it wanting to move the os to a ssd but leave all the other stuff on the other drive? also can I have them both as internal drives?

You need to get the main partition down to about 100GB by moving anything not Windows (primarily media files but secondarily programs) somewhere else (ideally you would have another disk to put the files during this process).
You would then (after clearing out the extra files) shrink the partition to 100GB.
You can then clone it to the SSD.
Then you'd expand it up to fill the SSD.
Then add the previous disk back to the system - you can then (carefully) delete windows files off the old disk.

Programs might help but I think youll still have to get the OS separate.
http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/manage-partition/clone-larger-hdd-to-smaller-ssd.html

Actually might be worth creating a recovery USB drive (Start>Create a recovery drive), 'recovering' to the SSD after removing the HDD and then adding back the HDD after. Probably less hassle than above.

Just put an order in for one of these. Needed an SSD asap since my current Samsung HDD failed a few days ago. How long does MyMemory usually take to deliver?

Hello everyone, i tried to order my ssd yesterday from this website, it took me to the payment page and i entered my details and it came up as 'not found', and i tried it again and the same thing showed up.
Today i checked my bank account and 2 payments of 29.09 were taken and there is no confirmation regarding the product.
This website is Dodgy as **** do not buy anything from them.

Hey buddy, i have the same issue as you, im gonna try and call them up tommorow, lets hope they give us refunds

I sent a 'contact us' form yesterday and they said there are problems with the website and a refund will come. I have held off ordering from them again until I know. Credit card shows the transaction there but not confirmed.

well,ive sent them them a email and did the contact us form as well. i have the 2 confirmed transactions showing up on my bank statement.

Now £36.99

Cheaper at Amazon now.

"Maths".

I've just been on live chat with them and they confirmed that two payments were taken but also confirmed that one has already been refunded so should be back in my account before the end of the week which i'm happy with. It would have been longer if i'd have had to wait for the unclaimed visa payment to drop back in to the account.

can't ask for more than that really.

Sending one our would be even better .. are they doing that or refunding you the second amount?

No it's not. It's £35.98 currently on Amazon.

Ordered one of these SSD's and a USB stick together. The USB stick dispatched. Still waiting for SSD to dispatch.

OK..£36.99 on MM. Weird maths you have. Unless you are taking cashback in to account and to that I say flubit.

Actually got the dispatch notification a few hours ago, so definitely getting one - although my local postal service is terrible so they may well still have something to say about that ..

#edit

wow, just checked my account and the refund has arrived back in it already !

They did refund my money so no issues, would have liked the SSD at that price, but sure another one will be along at some point.

my SSD actually arrived today which is rather good. it's tiny :smiley:

Mine too but it didn't work grrr

That doesn't fill me with a great amount of hope. I haven't tried it yet because i need to get a rack to install it properly, although I suppose I could borrow the sata cables from the bluray drive to see if it works ..

Run memtest or memtest86 (need to download and install).

actually got mine installed and set up today after a lot of faff as i also had to install a new graphics card AND power supply in a case that isn't that huge :smiley:

anyway, it's flying - got Windows 10 installed on it and my PC is running almost completely silently at the moment. it's great :smiley:

Math vs Maths
there are logical cases for both sides. One could argue maths is better because mathematics ends in s, and one could argue math is more accurate because mathematics is just a mass noun that happens to end in s.

But. One could also argue that you are just a grammar Nazi so obsessed with irrelevant ideological differences you are ignorent of macro economic factors that make a real world impact on your life and others.

Enjoy your brexit, and your expensive SSD

Meanwhile, outside of the irrelevant backwater of an imperialist island. There exists continents with real power.

Hmm... Are you okay? You seem a little unhinged. You have replied twice to the same one word message, going way off the deep end ranting about Brexit and Imperialism, neither of which are in the slightest bit relevant to any conversation here. It's bizarre.
