Integral 120GB P Series 5 SATA III 2.5" SSD Drive - 560MB/s
capacity does not matter for me..
Typically larger drives offer better performance.
That's hard to swallow 😋
What the!
Can anyone help me - is writing speeds different to writing performance, (as they are different speeds in the description of the deal), and also my old HDD is SATA II, will this work, just a little slower than SATA III? Will it be worth it for me, only just bought a new HDD. Anything else I need to know about swapping to an SDD? Thanks in advance for any help.
I’ve just upgraded my ancient Lenovo Sata 2 T400 with another HUKD, a 250GB Samsung SSD for about £75. I just undid one screw, took out the old drive, placed the SSD in the old rubber grips and slotted it in. Did a new install of Windows 10 on that. All I can say is, now it runs fast enough to actually use, big improvement.
Bigger SSDs also put out more heat and can cook themselves
M.2 stuff has vague heat issues but in 2.5" SATA drive form factor you won't have any heat issues. They run cooler than HDDs.
Just buy it from Amazon. Same price.
Not that anybody has any idea about the drive. Its certainly not what ebuyer are claiming. Looks like they just copied and pasted the description from the old 256gb version from a few years back. They just changed 256gb for 240gb in description. In the details it still list the write speed for 128gb drive. The small drive in this series is 120gb, 128gb is the old one.
If I was a betting man I would say it's a rebranded Toshiba TR200.
Ebuyer posted an Xmas pic. By mistake, in the background it shows that their staff have a performance metric of how many customer returns they refuse. Like others say... Amazon is the way to go.
What's the issue? I worked in retail years ago and the number of chancers was significant, from what i can tell it is far worse these days with the internet.

Anything they sell with any sort of advertised extended warranty is basically BS - after six months, no repair, no full refund and no replacment just an insult of a partial refund - you have been warned.
Oh, and Amazon is a totally ethical and right-on company I guess. Does it pay a sensible amount of tax yet? By the way, I don't like eBuyer very much.
