Sandisk Ultra II Internal SSD (240 GB) - PC World €79.99

Doodah7 · 25-11-2015 2:56pm #1

Very good price for an internal SSD from a b&m store. Especially as it seems that the 120GB is the same price.

Been threatening to purchase one of these for months. Might treat my old dell studio to an infusion !

These are the older version just so anybody knows before buying.

Where'd you get the 66 deal? Seems to be almost twice the price there this morning, even as a lightening deal!

Impossible to find, opened the link to the app and seen a much bigger one

Waiting on 12 bells tonight to see memoryc.ie

stimpson · 26-11-2015 12:01pm

The discount was the same, but the original price on mine was £95, not £120. Weird.

Sorry for getting your hopes up lads.

Gone, but this is a great deal for the 240GB. About €65. I bought it earlier from PCworld for €79. Ah well !

Went to maplin to look

120Gb SSD €75

Same one on Amazon.De €47

When is Maplin ever cheap with anything. Its mostly cheap Chinese goods for double what they cost online tbh. I only use them for components if I need them quickly, and they seem to be doing less of those all the time.

But to be on topic, the 240 is now £39.99 at Amazon, thanks to simzoli in the other thread:
http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057528537/1/#post97875338

Just thought I'd mention it here in case someone subscribed to this thread after missing the original deal

Sandisk 240gb ssd €60 w/ delivery at moment on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00S9Q9VS4?ref_=gb1h_img_c-3_7827_0e1fa6d7&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

styron · 27-11-2015 4:57am

The 240 now at £39.99 is the SSD Plus (down from £57.86 and a previous low of £49.99). The Ultra II is still £47.99 (down from £64.99, previous low £55). The latter is "up to" 30 MB/S faster reading & 150 MB/S writing sequentially, better caching & thermal throttling - moot for many, but may be worth the extra £8 to some.

jeffk · 27-11-2015 6:05am

I was saying because pc world was mentioned, but don't have stock and some people might be tempted to buy in a shop

Tried to get the ssd off amazon, they want postage, so it's over seventy

So that cost you an extra 30 cent for your bank or card refunding 1 penny and converting it to cents. I'd be on to them to complain and criticise them for such nonsense.

A. It doesn't cost me 30c for a refund
B. Even if it did I have better things to with my time.
C. That's my penny. I'll be damned if Amazon are keeping it.
D. This is Bargain Alerts, not Consumer Issues.

C & B are contradictory

stimpson · 03-12-2015 11:16am

Great news everybody. My refund came through and it was even better than expected - 5 cent!

I haven't decided what to spend it on yet. I may use it to pay down my mortgage.

jeffk · 14-12-2015 1:30pm

Did anyone have issues with delivery of their SSD from Amazon??

I'm on my third one being sent out, the other two where damaged(the box, didn't open to check drive) as just put into amazon cardboard cardboard sleeve.

I even told them some bubblewrap etc around it, got a €7.50 item off Banggood and was better wrapped

stimpson · 14-12-2015 1:32pm

No issues. Arrived in standard Amazon packaging and no damage to Sandisk box. Not sure if would bother me with an ssd. No moving parts to break.

I got two and both fine but just in an envelope with nothing other then their own sandisk box.

Poor guys in amazon depots have to pack 5 of them every second and you want them to add bubblewrap?? They are all just people, not robots!!

jeffk · 15-12-2015 12:53am

I've seen the doc's

That bit of bubblewrap would have made it two less they'd have to pack (to me)

RossieMan · 15-12-2015 8:59am

Bubble wrap for an sdd? Why?

Xcellor · 15-12-2015 10:31am

SSD is fairly indestructible. I've put thumb drive which is more or less similar tech through a wash and dry cycle and it worked afterwards.

beauf · 15-12-2015 11:16am

Mainly I assume to protect from cosmetic damage. Though you do see drives with damage connectors from time to to time.

jeffk · 15-12-2015 12:19pm

Yes, I know no moving parts.

But you pay €120 and it turns up in a damaged envelope and in turn damaged box around the SSD you think I’m not having that. Then as beauf says there could be connections damaged

I’ve put pendrives in the wash myself, but that’s a €8 part and self-inflicted

jonerkinsella · 15-12-2015 12:29pm

I was meant to get mine yesterday. I ordered the 480gb Ultra black friday weekend. The drive did not come yesterday and I had sat in all day after been assured by Amazon that the drive would be here by 6pm. I contacted them at 6,20pm trying to find a location on the package only to be told that the ssd was sent with no form of tracking and that I would have to wait till possibly the 22nd of Dec to receive it. I told the person that I wanted an immediate refund as an item like an ssd should have been tracked and there is no way that I can sit around waiting for a parcel for the next week . I was issued an immediate refund . I am quite pi$$ed off about the situation .

Bad form from Amazon in this day and age to send an item that cost €120 and just bung it in the post.

beauf · 15-12-2015 1:04pm

I've certainly broken flash drives by bending them. Its just pure luck if they didn't get damaged in a washing machine.
