Anyone not using an SSD for their main drive should be considered a threat to society, SSD's have been around for years now and at reasonable prices, those that grumble about not needing an SSD should be approached with caution or not at all, sadly it's too late for many but if they're willing to make the life change they'll immedietly become a convert and preach the good news. Luckily many of us took the leap of faith 5 years ago and have never looked back.

SSD is the ultimate religion.

Almost bought. Make sure you read the reviews before buying. The cache can be a problem. Thanks for spotting this anyway.:man:

wrong section.. should be on Computer section , not games..

interesting price though :wink:

Argh beat me to it. I just posted this in Computers after buying one for myself - I'll delete mine. I've been looking for a great deal for a number of weeks now. A steal!

waiting for good 2tb deal....

Good price, heat added.

what's the endurance rating on these?

"The price of SSD's is going up...." :wink:

Voted hot.

Where'd you get that from?

Also the 500gb for 90 quid looks pretty good too...

Anyone thinking of changing a HDD for an SSD and not sure if it is worth it, I would say definitely do it.
I had a laptop I found a real pain to use, so hardly used, until I did the swap last week and now it's probably my favourite way to browse, etc. Everything becomes almost instantaneous, such a big improvement.

Gah, why isn't this the MX300 series drive... would have bought that at this price in a heartbeat. :disappointed:

It was on groupon mate

"If only I had a time machine, people who go on past prices"....

One important note is that this is based on crucial's older 2D NAND technology whereas the MX300 in crucial's range is based on the 3D NAND, which is what samsungs latest Evo 850 range is based on. Theoretically 3D is more reliable because charge is less likely to dissipate from NAND cells.

Both will be a lot faster than a HDD of course.

How does it compare to the 850 evo?

Just paid 150 for a 500 evo 3 days ago .. I was desperate lol :confused:

Anyone know if this is any good for a late 2009 21.5 mac?

Only 7 left in stock now!

Does anyone know if this will work with a mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13"

If you're a gamer, which many of you I bet will be, don't focus too much on comparing SATA3 SSD speeds between themselves. Like this vs a Samsung Evo.
It'll make very very little difference, if any that's even noticeable at all. Just get a reliable SATA3 drive and play your games.

tempted but still have not done anything to my sandisk extreme pro

to those who might need one its pretty decently priced for new

Cheap for a reason. If you work at Mcdonalds then go ahead.

Looks like it's sold out.

any good for a late 2009 21.5" imac?
I'm sure I've heard something about a thermal connection required otherwise the fans constantly spin at full speed.

was tempted too, they had the Crucial MX300 750gb for £166, got flubit offer of £154, less storage but much better reviews, think I'll go for the MX300

£206!

Rich coming from you.... surprised you never voted cold since this was £5 cheaper 6 months ago. Probably did :wink:.

Did go up then the sales arrived :wink:

But but but Brexit?

Link now showing as £206.16 and from Scan not Amazon. Expire please.

Expired

Active again! Just purchased. Thanks. Think I just got lucky though.

One day you'll get sarcasm.

Ditto!

Keep checking, as the offer just came back on and I've got delivery for Thursday

Haha good luck with that was purchased at curry's

back in stock @ £159
