sorted byIs it better than a Samsung 850 Evo? No BUT... this is better value for money at this price. What most people don't say (? don't realise), in real world applications, there isn't a huge difference between mid tier SSD's and top tier ones. Benchmarks for SSD's show read and write stuff 90% of users don't even understand. They are both very fast and unless you are transferring large files, you will not see a real world difference.
I own an NVME SM961, Samsung 950 pro, samsung 850 pro, samsung 850 evo, OCZ 400, crucial 300 etc. Yes my NVME are fractionally quicker but not enough for me to care about.
SSD vs mechanical drives is a whole new kettle of fish, you WILL notice a significant difference from snappier response times to everything just loading that must faster. Again, for the price, this is one of the best deals this Black Friday so far.

You obviously haven't Google the issue...
700GB of garbage writes per day!
For typical users performance isn't the issue with SSDs - it's size, easy to fill them up given how small they often are compared to a typical HD. On that basis this size, for this price, seems a good deal.

This one's down at the moment rnli.org/
listen to this person people. don't get hung up on benchmarking either. I've got evo 850, sandisk ultra 2, mx300 and hyperx. real world feels pretty much the same performance, benchmarking is the only time I can see the difference.
was waiting for a good SSD deal
one of these babies will replace ageing OCZ 60gb from back in the day
that was recently ressurected as OS drive to dual boot W10...
but what to do with it now?
For those that wanna reminise:
Price from June 2011 (ebuyer)
Item: OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SSD - SATA-III - Read 525MB/s Write 475MB/s 50,000 IOPS
Qty: 1
Cost: 79.15 + VAT!!
Bit harsh...

Me thinks yes good sir!!! Up to you at the end of the day mate but the extra space with the Crucial would be handy IMHO.

Hi,
Once you go to SSD you won't go back to HDD unless it's just for storage of files.
Depends on your usage really.
At the moment I have got 3 x 256 SSD and run out of space, most space took games (some high end games take 20GB-60GB), video editing... So bough this one, could not resist at this price point!
Can I buy your 256GB on the cheap?
if there is a better deal later on I can always send this back.
I built mine in August and went for 3tb hard drive and 250gb ssd. The ssd is really convenient for use with saving you time loading games, accessing files and just wish this deal was available when I was building mine. Could you potentially buy this and add a 2tb Hard drive down the line.
My only criticism is be careful on what you install on it as 750gb will run out quickly if you download every game within your steam library.

Funny thing this..
I had feeling Amazon were going to sell the MX300 for this configuration/price and I've been holding off buying the 500 MB version all week on that basis.
BTW If you'd looked at the CCC graph earlier today it would have shown you that this was actually available at around the same price in March 2016 but now that the graph has been updated with todays price thats not now shown for some reason. It seems to have fallen off then end of the graph!?
I do love it when a plan comes together.
Update: It was far too tempting to resist

Spotify... cough...
eBay is flooded with fakes. Would never buy an SSD or SD card from them
Good spot. Just checked mine and it is running the version that has fixed the bug, but pretty poor of Spotify to ignore it for so long

Nope. Don't even see the option.
Ah the good old OCZ Agility 3, I bought the 120gb version in December 2011 for £130...a lot of people had issues with these drives but it has never let me down, I'm just running low on space now as I've moved Battlefield 1 across which is around 50GB!.
Looking forward to receiving the Crucial drive and having space to move other games across from my hybrid drive for that extra performance boost!
I'd save your money and get a life pal.
