The drive that is currently booted is always C:

Disk 1: Windows 8
Disk 2: Windows 10 (Just examples)

When Windows 8 is booted D1 is C:, when W10 is booted D2 is C: The mountpoints are fluid (Same way a USB key can be F: in one PC and E: in the next).

I should have opened this discussion with the attach screenshot of my current disc configuration with new SSD as "F" in Win 10. I had thought that there was an optimum SATA port on the MB for the boot drive.

So after I resize / reduce my "C" partition & clone with Macrium and swap boot order in Bios, will the SSD display as Disc 0 or does any of this actually matter ?

Mine arrived today (ordered 3/8 after they came back in to stock). Wasn't expecting such a quick turnaround after some of the stories of delays on here. Was in no rush to get it but really happy with the speedy delivery. Going to put it in an old work laptop & either gonna install Win 7 or a Linux distro (recommendations welcome) for home use.
Thanks to the bromley52 for piquing my interest & Qwerty? for the notification they were back in stock.

Linux Mint, have it on a 10 yr old laptop hooked up to tv, install kodi and chrome and your legal and "not".

Just bought this from Amazon France - they sent me the 240GB by mistake

Lucky you! I imagine the packaging is very similar on the different capacity models.

I got mine from Amazon UK and got the 120GB.

I ordered another from amazon uk while they were out of stock , how long did it take to come i'm waiting nearly 2 weeks

I ordered from Amazon UK on the same evening that the bargain alert first appeared here for 7dayshop's offer.
So that would be: ordered late on Sunday, 23rd of Jul, and received on Wednesday, August 8.

Bear in mind that I live out in the boonies, so it may have arrived a day or so earlier if I was in Dublin, as some others here were reporting on Monday that they got their 7dayshop order.

Personally, I believe that they are all coming form the same place, regardless of which retailer we buy from, as they seem to be be coming by some branch of the Swiss Post, as reported by several of us.

I'm about to swap over a PC running Windows 10 (free upgrade from Windows 8 after a few months) with 32gb M2 at present - any sort of guide I should follow available online? Where can I find my Windows product key to download to a USB to get it started back up again?

Do you not have the license linked to your Microsoft account? I did a clean install when I switched my PC to an SSD and I didn't need a product key. After swapping in the SSD and installing Windows 10, I just signed in my Microsoft account which had the license and it activated no problem.

Neither the brand (who the heck are “Oscoo”? It sounds like some random Chinese thing.) or the retailer would inspire confidence in me.

I think you’d be mad to chance this thing over the likes of Adata or Kingston drives from more familiar retailers such as 7dayshop or Amazon as discussed all throughout this thread.
