  Bargain. Bought mine for £150 just 6 months ago! Definitely worth it though and I don't see me needing an upgrade any time in the next few years.

  Is this a serious question....why.....??? lmao.......
  
  For one, you have a machine that will boot in about 10 seconds instead of about 30......your apps and programs and your games if you have them on an SSD will fire up LOADS faster.........
  
  sigh.......

  Because they are silent.

  These boot up more quickly and run quietly.
  
  The real advantage is recovering from "sleep" mode. That's so quick, I set my PC to go tot sleep after 10 minutes now, so it's quieter when not being used & will recover more quickly.
  
  Since I installed mine, I also set my PC up to go into "Sleep" mode after just 10 minutes, because it recovers so quickly. Overall, I have a much quicler PC and the energy savings from increased use of sleep mode will probably pay for this over the remaining life of the PC.
  
  I'm also tempted to get one for the netbook, just to make the thing quicker and more robust. Maybe 64 Gb would be enough for that.

  You can also install these in your case with a bit of blu-tack. I used a whole pack of blu-tack with my hard drive and it would slip off.

  Quieter, faster, longer battery life in laptops, more stable with regards to fail rates, don't cause extra heating in mobile usage.
  
  apart from that...what have SSD's ever done for us eh? Bloody Romans.

  The write speed for this one seems horrible, like 66% slower than some I've seen.. Is there a reason for this? I don't see why anyone would still want this one when you could get another 128gb SSD which writes at like 500mb/s. I hasten to add that this is a genuine question just because I'm curious, not knocking the drive in the slightest.

  500MB/s write rates are usually on drives that compress data before it's written. If you write an already compressed file (or a file that wouldn't benefit much from compression) on one of these drives the transfer speed would be much slower than the stated 500MB/s.

  These are great for us Manic Depressives. I use the SSD when I'm manic but prefer to boot up and use a slower HDD when I'm depressed.

  Can we do an SSD sticky answering the same questions that are asked every time these deals are posted?

  I wish the 64gb version would come down in price too. 128gb drives are tumbling in price but 64gb drives have been stuck on the the same price for ages it seems. I know lower capacity is technically slower but I doubt I'd notice much difference and 64gb is all I need.

  why would you... even pretend to care? ive had my SSD for 3 months and ive only even did about 5 large writes. if the speed was instantaneous, the SSD would only be about 0.005% more useful to me than it is now.
