  Fantastic price, but i'm holding out for a 500gb for £200 as I can't go back to having less than that in my laptop.

  argh... like everyone I've been watching the M4 deals to see how cheap they'd get but this one I just couldn't resist! My current 64gb m4 is just a bit too small but 256gb will be ample! HOT! :p

  Unfortunately £11,97 for delivery to Northern Ireland, bummer!

  
  
  hope amazon price match it for this reason, and their reliability of course

  
  
  Hard to believe, must be because it's sooooo heavy!

  There's been a lot of deals for SSD's on here recently but this is one of the few that represents a genuine bargain in the context of other prices up to now.
  
  For anyone still not sure about whether to get an SSD - if you use it as your primary boot drive (where the OS is kept) then it makes an astounding difference to boot up speeds and programme loading. My SSD booting PC makes my other one look like a knackered old Morris Minor.

  When you can get 500gb for this price, I might bite. Whilst it's a good upgrade, it's difficult to justify this sort of money to shave a few seconds off boot times etc etc.

  
  
  You have absolutely no clue what an SSD is for then, it has totally transformed my laptop now, boot times have little to do with it in my opinion, it's OS performance which it totally transforms.

  Yes I actually do have a clue what a SSD is for. I was simply making the point that if you have a laptop and require 500GB, the price doesn't justify the performance increase. (in my opinion)

  I'm also holding out but voting hot as it's a great deal.
• 
  stevoss1 year, 2 weeks ago #34Show comment toolsReply

  The stock has run out, but they are still available at this price with a longer lead time.
  
  Currently shipping within 3 working days rather than from stock.

  So tempted.... I have two hard drives in mine, so I reckon this as the bootup will do just fine with all the programs and my other 500GB for data......

  If you've got two bays, then SSD + SSD is ideal but SSD + HDD is a pretty good alternative. I think most people would be able to fit all the programmes that actually make a difference on 1 x 256GB SSD.
  
  If you've just got the one bay (like most laptops I guess) AND need decent amounts of storage then the hybrid (SSD/HDD) drives offer a decent option so you can get the benefits of SSD OS speed with HDD capacity.

  Nice... I'm holding off until you can get a reliable 250GB+ for less than £100, I think that's the sweet spot for laptop drives. Probably be at least a few more months away.

  
  Same here (_;)

  tempted - i dont need it but I WANT IT !
  
  just ordered a hdd caddy for my dell to fit in the optical bay which is going to be a couple of weeks before it arrives.
  
  someone look into their crystal ball and tell me if i should order or wait...lol

  The order or wait question?!
  
  This may be an all round price drop on SSDs or this could be the manufacturers selling off their stock before the next get arrives.
  
  If it is a stock drop, then we will see a price hike on the newer ones, as with the OCZ agaility 4. But if not and this is the new price, then they could get cheaper still...
  
  I bought, after cancelling my ebuyer £179.99 order from earlier in the week, so saving myself about 15 quid.

  Ordered one!
  I can't raid on the laptop as its not been added to the bios.... Not an issue though, I use my laptop to download from newsgroups etc so need a larger HDD to put things onto.
  All programs and the OS will fit onto this SSD including 2-3 games :)
