Thought I'd post this if anyone wants a non-Amazon UK based purchase, direct from Crucial. £244.62 for existing customers currently but if you sign up as a first time customer you can get 10% off, making this a better deal at just £220.16 or roughly £4 more expensive than the current Amazon Germany deal.

Having looked at a fair few reviews myself, this seems good performance and value for money, and I'd personally buy this over the Samsung T7 or SanDisk Extreme.

Other voucher codes sent out by email to existing customers may also reduce this further.

Can anyone suggest going with this or buying enclosers separately? I am leaning towards external enclosers as they can be upgraded to 40gbps later on when the usb4 enclosers get a bit cheaper.

For a quality SSD my thinking is quality drives are roughly £50 a TB or just under. Better drives close to this price point anyway. For about £16 you can get a basic enclosure. At which point you might as well have just bought an external for the negligible overall cost difference. I have several enclosures. Always just end up buying another enclosure to accommodate another drive. I mean what am I realistically going to do with the spare drive I take out? If only there was some way of storing it safely... :? Anyway. Tomorrow is another day. If you want storage now, buy now. If you don't need it for 6 months buy on Black Friday and you maybe get a slightly better deal.

I have this and I'm disappointed with it's speed when doing 20gb plus writes it drops to less than half of the speed of a mechanical HDD. Fast enough for reads though.
