Total: £587.66 (includes shipping: £11.70)​

​

and the Saberant Rocket 1TB (original Black and blue)

as above really, is there a stand out drive here at all or much of a muchness

In loading time of Windows and games there's hardly any speed difference even between NVMe SSDs and "slow" SATA SSDs.
So don't bother paying any price luxuries unless you used rolled up banknotes to light Christmas candles.

Here's 1TB drive for £140

i'd get this for £120
anything more is a rip off

yeah that's whats on my purchase list, but the two above are now within a tenner after price drops yesterday, so just checking that they're not 'better' as I wouldn't mind paying an extra tenner, otherwise im just miffed that teh rocket is like £40 more than it was for the around Christmas offer price, I know that needs a tardis, but when it's been that price it seems wrong paying this much, but 'it's time' so reckon it's the rocket

it may be a wasted tenner, but the sn750 is faster than the rocket in benchmarks.
real life workloads...not so much

Yeah I'd probably get the SN750 if it's only a tenner more.

You can get that WD drive for £120

Yeah saw that after I'd ordered the rocket

But I'm happy enough.. whilst you don't obviously use the packaging, the sabrent packaging is pretty impressive tbh. Shocked at how small and insignificant it was to be honest,despite obviously knowing the actual size of an m2 drive...comes on a small playing card sized tin with card and foam liner.
Reassuringly sturdy/protective despite its deminutive size and I probably will keep the tin for usb drives or something rather than disposing of yet more oversized PET plastic...
