  Nice price. Don't forget this has £20 cashback also, effectively making the price £133.89.
  
  I want to clone the original hard drive partition from my Samsung laptop and place it on here, will Norton Ghost let me do that?

  Yes that is what Ghost is used for, some recommend other software but that will do the trick.

  Thanks. Yeah, I tried a piece of software called Arconis Trueimage or something like that and it made a mess of it.
  
  I wonder if Amazon's notice of only 2 left in stock is just another way of pushing sales. I ordered two (one for my friend) and the quantities are still the same - even after 30 mins! The must have more in stock than they actually state.

  You could get cheaper here:http://www.dabs.com/products/samsung-256gb-830-series-sata-6gb-s-2-5--ssd-basic-kit-819P.html?catid=15004&src=2
  EDIT: It's a basic drive BTW.

  If Im going to put one of these in to a desktop, does it include a 3.5" bracket to convert to fit in to a standard bay (if not anyone recommend one)? cheers

  No - you want the Desktop kit - it comes with Ghost 15 / 3.5" bracket or rails / SATA cable

  Samsung cash back:
  if i purchase more than one qualifying product in a single purchase do i have to complete more than one claim form?..as the online form only appears to show space for the entry of one serial number, product, price paid. also at step 4 of 10 i can't see SSDs in the drop-down product list even though the retailer i selected sells them.

  If I'm fitting in a desktop and don't mind about the bracket (there seems to be a wide view that it is not necessary) - am I better buying the notebook kit to get Norton 15 as it appears to be the same price as the bare drive? Or am I missing the point somewhere?
  
  Thanks for any clarification.

  1. I have 2 ssd's in my desktop, and don't use a bracket for either.
  2. You might as well buy the notebook kit (vs the bare drive) - you get ghost 15 and the USB-SATA adapter (always handy)
  3. There are desktop kits available, which also include ghost 15 (and also brackets, and a SATA cable)
  
  The bare drive is just that BTW - it has no accessories, so I suppose you need to decide what accessories you need and what you think the best value for money is - hope that helps
