Deal was too good to miss out on ;)

As I often do when I see some of the desirable items on here, I checked the price of this one, and nearly fell off my chair when I saw it! :eek:

I just hope you got a really good deal on it! :)

In Switz... about £2.7k including 24-105 f4 kit lens & 24-70 f2.8 lens. Brand new with 3 year warranty.

For reference... it's about £2k (after £250 cashback) in the UK at the moment without any lenses or £2500-2600 with just the 24-105 lens. The 24-70 is an expensive piece of glass.

MrK, I note that there is a pair of recently used jeans on that bed next to the new jacket. You took that photograph with no trousers on, didn't you you filthy swine?

Next to an SD card for size comparison... it teeeeeeny!

What's the benefit of an M2 drive? I read the slot is supposed to be rated at 10Gb/sec, vs 6Gb/sec of SATA, but all the drives are rated as the latter. Plus they cost more than regular SSDs and are more fragile.

As for the design, why isn't the interface along the long side like a memory module, it would sit more securely in the board.

Strange little device.

The slot in that location is because they are frequently used in laptops, tablets etc... and it would make the motherboards bigger to have longer slots... this way saves more space, but is still fast enough. The semi-circle at the top is for securing it... normally it would lay flat against a motherboard... it's only really on desktop boards where they stand up-right. Boards for this slot come with a bracket to secure it in location.

This is one of a new generation of drives... it outperforms the Intel 750 NVMe drive in quite a few tests according to Anandtech.

This single 512GB drive can do something like 2GB/s read, 1.2GB/s write and 140k IOPs... it's quite a performance jump from your average SSD.

Just backing up some files getting ready to install it :)



EDIT: It's rather quick... fastest Win8.1 install I've seen & driver installs have been noticeably quicker (even over Intel 730 480GB Raid-0)... that IOP increase and reduction in controller lag is noticeable :)

Decided I wanted an external filter for my aquarium, so popped out today and picked one up. Got it knocked down from £285 to £230 as well, which was good.
