Been looking for a reasonably priced SSD for a while - this has just dropped in price so couldn't resist!
As a thought, if possible, add 'Hard drive' in the description so it shows up in such a search. :wink:

It's scary if this is considered a reasonable price... damn nand shortages :disappointed:

Excellent. Only £25 more than I paid for it over two years ago.

I know right, I bought a 240GB SSD over 2 years ago for £50, I was sure by now we'd be getting 512GB Drives for this price, but the prices how been static for a while.

This is about the slowest mainstream SSD out there. You can't go by the reviews as Sandisk change the internal components without changing the model name. You can pick up the Ultra II version at PC World for £10 more which is likely to be much faster.

Just thumb these prices down mate, it will trickle back to the manufacturers soon or later when they realise they have boxes of them sitting on their shelf and they ain't making money and they still have bills coming in.

I believe I also bought my Sandisk 240GB SSD for around £45-£50 12-18 months ago.
£70 just doesn't look tempting at all for 240GB, even if it is today's prices. Hot if the deal was for 480GB...
But for those who still aren't using a Solid State Drive (SSD) yet...get one!

Not voted, but on Amazon you can get the 250GB SK Hynix SL308 for less than £4 more and it's surely better value. Better specs and higher capacity and it's a decent brand too, just not well known to people. I have one and I'm pretty happy although I've only ever used it in a USB enclosure.

we should see prices fall as the change from 2d nand to 3d nand (also layer increase) will be mean the easing of prices in q3 :o..
If you do need an ssd now, just go for the best gb per £.
