Recently got this from Amazon for £177, but has gone up in price there.
It's pretty much a re-branded Crucial MX500. Same controller, same Micron NAND.
Even has the same casing.
Just a lot cheaper!

Tested alongside my 1TB MX500 performance was pretty much the same.

    Ran a quick speed test in a USB enclosure.
    Not bad speeds using externally -

    This MoreCoCo online retailer company, I've never heard of them.

    I'm assuming that MoreCoCo is a decent enough company to trade with, or something, right? :-)

    Thanx.

    They're decent enough.
    They list their UK address and landline on their site which is always a good sign of a legit retailer.

    There's been a few deals for them posted and no one has mentioned any problems buying from them.
    Personally I've made 3 seperate orders with them and everything has been fine. (edited)

    An SSD deal with no comments (positive or negative) after 2 days!

    Is this some sort of alternate reality? (edited)

    Cheers!
    Bonkers price, I know I've only lost £11 on it (got from Amazon when it was £176), but that's on top of a phone that went down another £10 this week days after buying it.

    I'm not having the best week.

    I don't know why this hasn't gone hotter. It's one of the best deals ive seen for a large amount of storage.

    Waiting for a 4TB SSD to drop to £150. Shouldn’t have to wait too long I hope!

    Not too soon I hope, I've barely used this drive since I bought it.
    Bad enough as it is because I paid £176 from Amazon a couple of days before this popped up, lol.

    Out of stock, sort of wish I'd have bought one now instead of waiting to see if the price would come down more (edited)

    Same, and I did want another as well.
    Amason is next best at £175 (direct from Amazon, a bit less from marketplace sellers).

    EDIT:
    Amazon and the cheaper marketplace seller are gone now too. (edited)
