  The post-sales support with Pixmania is terrible - it's a pretty common story with issues with getting replacements or refunds from them is almost like trying to get blood from a stone.

  Bought one.
  
  Couldn't wait until next week's Samsung offer.
  
  This unit has better write speeds than equivalent Samsung offering so heat from me.
  
  I trust Transcend [not sure about Pixmania though] so think this one will go hot.

  Not sure if anyone else has noticed but it's a Sandforce drive with the full 256GB available, normally they're only 240GB. Guess that extra 16GB could come in handy - this must be one of those drives with RAISE disabled.

  Anyone know if these are as reliable as the Crucial M4's or the Samsung 830's?

  Hmmm, at this price it's almost worth risking buying from Pixmania. Almost, but not quite!

  I would still rate the M4 and 830 better in reliability, if only on anecdotal evidence.

  This comes out at £133.46 including delivery as long as you remember to take off Zen (silly pointless) and the VIPix club crap.

  Stay well clear of Pixmania. Despite the amount of bad publicity they've already received from TV shows like Watchdog etc.. I have worked for several leading manufactures that if something failes they will refuse to touch it if it came from Pixmania. They sell B grade/reconditioned stock as brand new & have also many times tried to sell cheaper foreign stock as new UK stock so alot of the times u will not get the right cables or it just wont be compatible with other UK equipment. Very bad company with a very bad reputation. Surprised there still going to be honest!

  I agree with 1nsomniac that you should stay clear of Pixmania, terrible company. I bought a Blu-Ray player that arrived with all dirty finger prints all over it and internal packaging all torn up.

  I agree with most of these comments, great price but it's not worth running the risk with Pixmania they seem to just think selling off used goods as new is acceptable.
