This is the cheapest price for a 240GB SSD from a brand that I would trust. It may not be the best performing drive, but with the recent price increases it is difficult to get a drive from a decent brand for a good price.
very decent drives, for most things like laptops these are ideal

Can't believe I missed the last offer on the 120gb variant for £25. Seems so long ago now :disappointed:

£65 for a 240GB SSD is a good deal at the moment for any brand providing a minimum of support.
Although I'm not sure this one qualifies or not, the Integral site doesn't seem to provide any firmware updates or tools. I suspect all you're getting here is potentially better quality control than a generic chinese one.

These drives are basically the cheapest of the cheapest in regards to components, they won't live anywhere near as long as something like a samsung or crucial drive would, I bought the 120gb version for £25 when it was on offer here and I quickly regretted it, they are just kind of crap in every aspect compared to my other SSD's, its write speed was borderline hard drive levels.

the 120 I bought in one of those £25 deals is still going strong, never had an issue and still fast

Purchased Integral 240 GB which failed after 6 months. Took over a month to get a RMA (Free) replacement SSD from Integral. I've used various SSD brands over the last few years and this brand is the first which has failed.

Not a bad price considering the battering the pound has taken recently.

I ordered the PLEXTOR PX-256M7VC from Amazon the other day its temporarily out of stock but its a little cheaper than this and 16gb larger but it has a massive 160tb tbw if you wrote 50gb a day to it it would last over 5 years and i needed it for my server so i needed a reliable drive and that seems to be the one, the insides are nearly exactly the same as the £20+ more expensive Crucial MX300 and it beats it performance wise in most tests so its a no brainer.
