People can harp on about it being double what it was last year but I paid £149 from Argos a few weeks ago and did a fresh install on to this drive and it's like a brand new computer. It's the best upgrade I've ever made. I was seriously considering a new computer so this saved me a lot of money and if they come down half price next year I'll buy a 1GB model. Meanwhile this is the cheapest available at the momnent.

If it interests anyone you can get a Crucial MX300 525GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD for £133.19 if you're on prime (here)

Some will manage with with standard hard drive untill we see affordable prices.

Others who need faster speeds will still buy them regardless of the price.

Wait a few years and there will be price fixing in the courts.

Aria are doing these at 131 but I think they've been banned from HUKD

I bought half the size for £72 13 months ago. This seems like a great deal to me seeing that the prices over the past year have gone crazy

Just wondering;

I bought this SSD in November 2015 ( almost 2 years ago) for £90 pounds on amazon.
Can anyone explain why after 2 years the same drive cost £141.14 and people consider it good price?
Thanks for reply.

NAND shortages are not expected to ease until Q3 '18, so anything up to 10 months from now. 3D NAND is even more constrained than standard, so drives like this will uptrend well into 2018.

I am pretty sure that if you are likely to need any SSD's in the near future, buy them now, or pay more. Or wait until 2019 :grin:

Looks like I'll have to wait for Black Friday again. Last year I missed out on the 750GB Crucial SSDs at £106 each. :disappointed:

Hopefully Amazon will repeat a similar offer this year

not too bad given this years multiple supply issues. next year should be better
