120GB - PNY CS900 Series 2.5" SATA III 6Gb/s - SSD - internal solid state drive £7.99 @ Amazon

Luvely jubbly. :-D

I’ve got a raspberry pi and would prefer to run it with an SSD as I don’t fancy the failure/data corruption rates of sd cards. There are still use cases for these size drives

A couple of weeks ago I bought Orico 2.5 inch enclosures from AliExpress for around £4 (they haven't arrived yet though!).

These are fine for older machines or upgrades before sale. I doubt we will see 240GB under £10 that soon as there will be no real place for the 120GB versions to go. 240GB have been pretty consistent around £20 mark occasionally reaching £15 if lucky.

£10 seems a bit expensive now for a SSD

Sign me up

I find it very difficult to believe that the storage bar isn't screaming in the RED if you're a Windows user, for that boot drive lol

Especially with plethora of updates.

Haha same

Good question. :-DIn theory, it should be 6, yes. :-)

But, personally speaking, I wouldn't personally use an SSD for RAID sort of functionality 'things', sorry.

As I'm still old skool in believing that (where that specific use case scenario is concerned, anyway, etc?), HDD's are superior/more reliable, and suchlike's?

And as such, definitely the preferred way to go, or whatever?

Especially as portable external HDD's (with decent enough internal storage capacities in their own right, etc), have been in the system already, for a wee while as well, etc?

Well, that's my suggestion, anyway. :-DHehehehehehe.

Tell me about it? :-)

Soon I'll stop wasting time buying pen drives, and just stick to buying cheap SSD's like these, caddy them up, and I'll be good to go! :-DThough in fairness to both memory card's and pen drives, is this also.

Both pen drives, and/or, memory card's, have more 'shelf-life' attached to them, etc (depending on one's use case scenario for each of the above, or whatever, I guess?). :-)

That aside though, via a spare USB socket, you can easily argue that for temporary non-volite file's, a caddied SSD can easily perform the necessary functions that any pen drive could anyway, right?.

But however, I'm yet to find a mobile phone (or tablet too for that matter?), out there, that's able to 'natively' incorporate any SSD into it's staple? - in much the same manner as how memory card's fluidly integrate into tablet's and phone's? - at arguably the blink of an eye. ;-)

Hehehehehehe.

But, I hear what you're saying though. :-)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat.. contacted them... apparently have no way to 'price match' so suggested I return the item.. and buy at the new price... lol.... dear me.

There's your answer

I bought one as a spare backup drive for documents etc. I don't understand how they can produce it this cheap!

It depends what your needs are, any drive of any size will have a base cost (3 drives, 3 controllers, 3 PCBs, etc.), I bought a handful as got some older business SFF machines that came factory-fitted with HDDs and want to add these alongside, install Windows and make them desirable when we sell them on. So a 480GB drive wouldn't have been any benefit here.

Arrived next day. Have Business Prime.

Yes, and posted 8 days ago.
Thank you
