    Those prices are getting to be the norm.
    I picked up a couple of these on Amazon this week.

    £50 each. I buy exVAT but £60 including.

    What is the +upgrade kit? Does this turn it into a portable USB?

    I bought a Kingston 240gb SSD on Amazon last week for £34. As said above, they're just cheap to buy now.

    Cloning software kit as far as I remember, to upgrade from HDD.

    I just noticed those Kingstones on amazon. Is that Toshiba any better than Kingston? Or Sandisk SSD Plus for 39 pounds on amazon? Also the Sandisk SSD upgrade kit (12.99 on amazon) does it allow you to clone everything including operating system without any issue?

    The one I bought a few years ago was Kinhston and it came with a copy of Acronis True Image which is a pretty good cloning software and it cloned everything on the HDD including the OS. The best part was it created its own partitions so I could clone a 240gb SDD from a 320gb HDD, this can be a bit tricky for the uninitiated.
    Incidentally, that Kingston SSD is in this very laptop I'm using now so no complaints there.

    In the market for a 1TB SSD, lowest I've seen on is Amazon for 120 sterling, I want all mechanical HDDs out of my PC soon as I can, I have a 500gb 7200 for data and a 120GB OS drive, so want to replace the 500gb for something bigger and quicker...

    SSDs really have come down in price though haven't they?

    I had one of them in my old Mac, don't notice the difference with that and the sandisk I have for my OS, are they that much slower?

    My PC boots in about 8 seconds... :)

    If it's only for os and in old laptop,etc. you won't notice any difference.
    But still 960gb is more then twice as 480 costs.

    It made a collosal difference to my old 07 MBP, which only had a standard 5400RPM HDD when I got it, was like a new machine after...

    It's nearly as fast as my 2013 Air which has the SSD on the motherboard...

    Any order I have ever tried with Ebuyer ( Parcel Motel, Addresspal) have all been cancelled. Are they delivering here now?

    I've been holding off on pulling the trigger on ssds, waiting for black friday as they usually are discounted. But the prices are so low at the minute I'm starting to doubt if there will be any futher price drops during this years black friday.

    As with all hard drives there is no point in getting a no-name brand if it's only a little cheaper.

    Doubly so if you are storing data on it.


    Crucial BX300 - 120GB drives are down to £19.99
