Not heard of this seller before. Has anyone had experience of them?

It was slightly cheaper from abroad but as intikab said, fulfilled by Amazon should be safe. The brand is ok but relatively unknown over here, personally I would chose something branded like a Sandisk or Crucial.

worry about the make had a kingspec drive before lasted 10 weeks, with memory or ssd always go for a trusted brand.

Fulfilled by Amazon is only about delivery and returns. No guarantee about quality (like Amazon selling direct).


Never been a fan of cheap chinese imports. 3 out of 10 actually works great. Looks like you were one of the 7s...:stuck_out_tongue:

Right, but it's much easier to return whatever you receive, and have it dealt with quickly. You have cover with Amazon even if it's not fulfilled though.

you need to be aware that if you decide to return something and it's all the way in China it may be difficult to have viable tracked delivery. if the drive is faulty on arrival then amazon will sort out the postage etc but that will still need to go back to China so a long wait and sometimes agonising one too.

You can buy a five-star-rated Transcend MSA370 for £75 with a UK warranty and track record. There are two bad reviews of the KingSpec. I don't think the risk with 256GB of data after the hassle of installing is worth £13.

I got this for £50 direct from the manufacturer via aliexpress. It's currently £55 but you get money off vouchers for signing up to aliexpress and also from kingspec. Arrived fine in a few weeks. Still not used so can't comment on performance.
