4.4% Topcashback!

Got this for my pure silent HTPC (no fans and no spinning HDD)

Asrock N3700-ITX Integrated Quad-Core N3700 Pentium Chip 6W TDP and passive cooler (can do 4K)
Had spare so-dimm memory, tiny vesa mountable itx case, pico psu (passive). All I needed to do was add a cheap SSD :smiley:

I have had Crucial "die" after a month.

The Amazon reviews in general seem very good and they are a popular brand in other countries....it is not a generic brand , more of a not so well known brand in the UK .

Thanks for this OP! Am going to upgrade my girlfriend's laptop with this.

Anyone else have trouble getting past the delivery options screen in Chrome on a desktop? I had to switch to Firefox as I couldn't progress with either free or first class delivery selected.

True - and I a Kingston...
I guess it can happen to any but you worry a little more when they have little or no UK customer services.

Picked this up to go into a cheap build I'm making for my niece

why is one £35 and another £61 from the same seller?

Saying currently OOS

Stuck one of these in an old laptop from March 2009, Ex Windows Vista (Core2 Duo P8400 2.27GHz, 4GB RAM) for the hell of it, to see how it would perform.

With Windows 10 installed and this SSD, it boots from power on to browsing the web in 30 seconds.
Word 2016 loads in about 3 seconds.

This beats any cheap new laptop for day to day use. (NO COMMENTS NEEDED ABOUT GRAPHICS, ETC)

OOS.

Got one of these running in my little bros PC. No problems yet and performs very nice for the price. Heat added and I'll be getting another one of these :smiley:

And this is like my case

No doubt you'll notice a huge performance increase with the SSD, I assume given the age of your notebook the drive will not be operating as its full specification. These drives are require SATA 6GB port to get the maximum speed specified speed, at around 2009 sata 3GB was prevalent and most likely your drive will be bottlenecked by the controller. Something to think about. Ultimately, your getting the benefit you want, so that's the main thing, also realise to get the potential of the drive Sata 6GB is required.

Just got issued a full refund via Paypal with no email to explain why anyone else had one?

No , you can pick 120 and 240 from the page
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B2OR2VC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I picked 240 and the prices following are for the 240gb , My order shows 240gb ordered , I bought one earlier.

Even if it turns up as a 120gb , any marketplace seller even if a foreign company has to offer either :

A free return address to the sellers country or a free UK delivery address.

Also if you look at the 2 sellers , each has a different amount of feedback one will be the direct from Hong kong , one will be shipped from the UK account.

So no worries...

The following items have been dispatched:

1 x Integral 120GB V Series 2.5" Sata III 6Gbps SSD

Sorry to those of you that got an order in but getting refunds :neutral_face:

Rip too late, would have fancied this.

My mistake <3
So the original question remains... the different prices are there if you feel generous then :stuck_out_tongue:

Tempted.
I notice that for the 240GB and 480GB it says that the price is 'from', whatever that implies.

Maybe , but generous does not come into the option....I picked 34.99 + 2.99 no self respecting HotUKDealer would not do the same !

Well it implies that you need to click on your choice of size...e.g 240gb from the clickable size options , then pick your supplier. £34.99 + 2.99 shipping.

Missed it again.
But thanks for posting the KingDian drive it might just breath so extra life into an old lappy.

Damn it, missed it this time. caught it last time. great drive. shame

My mistake, I just glanced at the company name and didn't fully read the shipping options.

30Hz f-that!!!!

Most videos are 24fps, what does it matter that it's 30hz to a TV for watching stuff?

Shame, i bought a cheap chinese brand 2 days ago for £38

Loads of these on eBay now for £40+

The one day I forget to check UKHD, the thing I've waited for since black Friday comes and goes. :disappointed: Can only hope the 240gb discount is right around the corner.
