** Crucial RealSSD M4 512GB - HUGE PRICE DROP **

[Type_R]

rjkoneill can you offer any insight into the current price reductions on SSDs, I do realise it's based on NAND pricing but do you know if it's because they are using some kind of cheaper die-shrunk chips on the latest shipped drives or is it just purely a reflection of a general drop in price of NAND.

According to OCUK a few weeks back there were going to be no further reductions in price for a long time. I believe this was when the 128gb were selling for £150

So take anything with a pinch of salt

yeah, I remember asking about the 512GB specifically and was told (as I sort of expected) that the 512GB weren't going to be dropping in line with the 64/128/256 drives but I'm not planning to buy my SSD yet so it's nice to see the price on the 512GB drives dropping too as it might mean I can opt for a 512 over a 256 when the time comes

tbh

im sorry but I am not seeing a £50 difference at any of our competition.



I have dropped another £10 off the price to match our closed direct competitor on Google shopping.

Yes is much cheaper i will send you the link £285 link sent.

Dont believe everythink you are told.

Hence why I am sitting tight. Already got 2 64gb SSDs, I'm the market or a 512gb and will take the plunge when prices truly stabilise.

Any chance you could get a deal on the 256GB M4's?

It would have to beat the rainforest place, but yes if they can match the Samsung 830 price for the M4, I'll snap up the M4 256Gb, it's just so reliable!

It was available at posting for £283.xx at a competitor using a 10% code which was freely and still is freely available and not a misprice etc. You can find it on a certain "hot" uk deals site if you get me.

Anyway, still a good price just saying....

wonder if we will see any price drops on the Samsung 830 512GB, considering the offer on the 256GB model seems to have followed on from Crucial's drop on their 256GB M4

I hope so, I want a 512gb SSD but the Samsung is too good looking to not give it a chance to come down

SSD's just keep getting more and more affordable, now I can compare this to my 500GB HDD as an actual replacement rather than just an OS drive, and see how the prices are just dropping and dropping recently.
