Great price however does have a dispatched date of within 1 to 3 weeks.

Thanks for Posting.
I imagine that there will be a load of these next week on Amazon Warehouse because some thicko at Amazon has categorised it as an external drive and it's currently the no.2 best-selling external drive.
They'll have a few scratches on them where people have stabbed them a few dozen times with a USB plug, but still ought to be functional

Heated great price for these. Almost approaching the price these used to be last year before they shot back up.
No idea what these are like for performance? Don't think they are really one of the big brands in the SSD sector and typically with lesser known parts there is virtually no reviews but worth a punt at this price...

Hm, reviews might be harder but here are the specs:
Type: Solid State Drive (SSD) • Form factor: 2.5" • Interface: SATA 6Gb/s • Read: 560MB/s • Write: 460MB/s • IOPS 4K read/Write: 86k/80k • Flash memory: 2D-NAND TLC • MTBF: 2 Mio. hours • Protocol: AHCI • Encryption: not available • Power consumption: 2.2W (operation), 0.17W (idle) • Dimensions: 100x70x7mm • Special features: not available • Warranty: three years
Listed since last September, but still couldn't find any reviews except for one Italian youtube video of the 120GB showing the boot time versus a HDD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukmo0nT2muM

One of the world's biggest retaillers... But totally incapable of listing things correctly. Or even having proper filters on their searches, nor supporting Boolean operators.
But we know what they rely on: some other retailer somewhere to have a proper listing which you can use as longs as Amazon got the part number right. So other retailers put in more effort, Amazon can't be bothered, but we the punters end buying from Amazon because of their 'great customer service'. Which isn't as great as it was, plus being so big means they often pass the cost of 'spurious' returns on to the distributor or manufacturer which smaller retailers cannot.
Can't help but think that Amazon are taking a Walmart approach (Walmart were meant to have approached US cities something along this line: if a city could support say 5 Walmarts they would open 8 to saturate the city, then once all the small retailers went bankrupt they'd close down the extra 3 making (this sort of hinted in this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart#Economic_impact , but I think there was an actual study)).

Looks as if it's gone, only showing third party sellers now. Now the wait to see if they honour them. Don't think it's a massive enough price drop to be an obvious misprice but Amazon are very stingy with PC part offers/misprices, had a lot cancelled on me in the past but to be fair had a fair few honoured in other departments.
Prefer seeing PC parts on Amazon warehouse as those always seem to get honoured regardless of the price....
