Thing is, I'm not up on the whole ssd thing, I'm ASSUMING that the Samsung will work on any system with SATA, did I do the right thing or should I cancel and order this one?? Just thinking, am I going to imstall all my apps onto the ssd or would I just use it as a boot drive and stick with conventional HDD or would I be best to put my commonly used apps such as PShop etc on there too???
The Samsung 830 is a much faster drive than the Sandisk, so personally for just over twice the price you got a better deal. At the end of the day if you don't get on with it you can always DSR it back to Amazon for the cost of the postage.

Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated. Can I ask how you would get the OS onto this? My current OS is in my HDD recovery partition, but I think I have the install disks too. I was thinking of factory restoring the drive anyway, so would I be best to do that, then make an image and just dump it onto this OR just go for a clean install straight from the DVD's??

Clean intall every time in my opinion. There's no need to waste disk space with a recovery partition. On an SSD the install time from optical disc will be pretty good.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go, nothing to lose really, if it doesn't go right I can always wipe and retry or at worst, just reconnect the original HDD ;)

Don't just look at 'SSD' 'CAPACITY' and 'PRICE' - learn what things like IOPS mean. These drives are shockingly bad and slow, but for a few pounds more you can get far far better drives.
