    There's a 240GB SSD going on sale at 6am and another 250GB SSD going on sale at 7pm.. Dunno which to go for.

    This one is going on sale at 6am.

    This one at 7pm.


    Have a look at the Photo Reviews on the right hand side of the page.

    The Crucial seems to have benchmarked very poorly.

    Compare it with the photo reviews here for the Sandisk on amazon dot com

    http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Internal-240GB-2-5-Inch-SDSSDA-240G-G25/dp/B00S9Q9VS4

    I`m going to have my eyes peeled on the Sandisk!

    I haven't been following the PC building scene lately, but I know at one point Crucial were considered the best SSDs to get. Not sure if that's the case anymore. I've had my 64gb Crucial SSD for I'd say 4 years now and it's still going strong.

    They left out ES.

    Aye, I think I'll go with the San Disk too. Pity the 250 Samsung one isn't on sale and only the 1tb!

    Just an update on the BX100, the benchmark on amazon dot com seems upto scratch:

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RQA6TEI/ref=psdc_1292116011_t1_B00S9Q9VS4


    Maybe those UK reviewers were using it on Sata 3Gbs motherboards, or were using dodgy cables.

    They should have a sale on the prime itself.

    Bring it down from £79 for an hour even!

    Its ridiculously expensive in the UK for some reason.

    Im pretty sure on amazon.es its only 29euro per year. :eek:

    Just found out both my laptop and desktop are only SATA 3Gbps so im not going to bother with the SSDs.

    Saves me getting up early in the morning! :p

    For most sellers yes. For some you have to use Parcel Motel.

    If its Amazon selling it themselves, then yes.

    Does anyone know how much that San Disk SSD went for in the end? I fell asleep and missed it :(

    Edit: Didn't miss it so. But it's 49.99. Not much of a saving!

    For anyone who has used up their trial and wants to avail of the Prime Day deals, all you need to do is sign up with a new email address and you'll get a chance to get a trial again. I've been getting 10 months of Prime doing this trick. Your postal address isn't flagged as that of another account, so it's a perfect loophole. Right now I'd never be able to justify Prime until they offer at least Super Saver at a lower minimum buy than 30 pounds or Prime at a reduced price for Irish customers as it's just Prime movies you getting (Netflix is better) and you lose Super Saver as a Prime customer, making it counterproductive. So use this loophole and get unlimited supplies of trials.

    Ah... Its a pity they won't put the bigger box on offer. The extra horsepower would be handy but at £59 its a no go. Maybe they will offer it later on.

    I see Amazon Prime (Premium) on Amazon.es is only €19.95 per year. That's a serious difference in the £79 on the .co.uk site.

    Would it be worth getting? No interest in the free deliveries side of things, more the streaming content and free Kindle books. (Would it be even possible to view the content?)

    How does the streaming with Prime work? Using a VPN?

    I'm probably asking a really silly question that a million other gob****es have asked before.

    Can I get a kindle delivered from Amazon.de? I used a parcel motel address (newtonabbey) and it isn't working for me. :-/

    Feel like I'm missing out on something..
