250Gb Evo 850

[dits]

£119 plus delivery? I can't believe it. There's reasonable mark up and then there's this. You can find the Evo850 250gb version for under £90 in plenty of places.

they dropped as low as £60 at one point as this was when i got mine but over recent months they have been going up loads

cant believe that the SSD is that price now.

I dont mind paying a bit more to get it from OCUK due to their customer service etc

I paid less than that for a 500GB Evo 850 18 months ago!

Memory prices up globally

£ weaker

Brand new? Was it a black Friday deal?

Don't remember 500GB SDD dropping below £100.

 

[Sargatanas2511]

Yes, it was £96 if i remember right on Black Friday deals. I actually bought 2 and If i remember the second was £115 so both in total were around the £220 mark. I'll check when I get home.

*edit* It was £208.93 for both. One was £117.94 so the other was £90.99. If I had known the prices would go up so much I would have bought 4.

I bought mine 250gb for 80£ no promotion... Still thing is some thing illegal going on with SSD prices as it to much even for brexit. In May last year I bought 8gb stick of DDR3 for 25£ now is 65£....

Mobile phones are a big part of the problem. Apple's new iPhone now has 128GB flash...

Along with all the other reasons (3D transition, etc).

Supply down, demand way up

So you think to put the price of a product up is illegal? Mmmmkay

Prices have been rising steadily for a number of years, think back to before the floods in Thailand, Hdds were pennies hell I bought 16Gb of 1600mhz Kingston HyperX RAM for £35 4 or so years ago

 

[David Bisset]

The prices have risen so much on SSDs, it's depressing. My 500GB 850 Evo was £90.

Makes me less likely to upgrade any time soon! I'm sure I'll get over-excited whenever I next upgrade my mobo and go nvme or something... but it'll probably be a tiny wee drive rather than finally getting to a size where I don't really think about it.

Silly of you to say that... What I meant was price fixing: link, link, link and so on.

I got the 850 EVO in 256 and 500 GB sizes. Both work just fine - no noticeable difference in real work performance. They are both in my old T510 notebook. 256 is OS and 500 is data.

 

[Ornatus]

Yeah I had the same today, looked on Overclockers for the 500gb and was shocked at £210, so I checked another site and it was £140.

I wish I'd bought an extra one of the 1TB 850 EVO's when they were £185, way back on Nov 30, 2015.
