It is NAND.

Also remember the FREE shipping is for your entire basket, so why not buy other stuff along with the SSD too, or use the SSD to get free shipping on your order. ;)

Always trying to tempt me ;)

Interestingly, 240GB drives are now around what I spent on my Vertex 2 so do you think we will see 512GB coming down in line with their smaller size counterparts i.e. £240-260 or are the 240GB just the new price/perfromance sweet spot

Not really as 480GB+ manufacturers have little to no volume to shift, deals happen when there are overstocks, there has been big overstocks on 240GB sized drives hence this good deal.

No one has overstocks on 480+ and as such the pricing were getting is hardly anything worth shouting about.

Its new and demands a premium.

NAND has fallen, but also a lot of manufacturers are clearing out overstocks, hence some good deals which are particular cheap, hence why pricing could go up, as NAND is falling but this is being combined with manufacturers smashing deals out.

Wouldn't risk it even at this price with OCZ's reliability.

You buy cheap and you buy twice.

Some stats for you:-

We've sold 234 units of these since they came out.

We've had 4 back.

3 were faulty
1 was DSR.

That is a sub 1.50% failure rate, so in comparison with other SSD's, for instance the Crucial M4 256GB which has stats of the following:-

Sold 682 units
7 were faulty.

Giving a 1.03% failure rate.

There is less than 1/2% in it and both drives are sub 2% and closer to the 1% mark, there is certainly nothing wrong with these.

Also remember if you need assistance OcUK after service is now the best it has ever being and you also get 14 days to play with the product where you can choose to return it in that time frame for a refund should you wish. :)

That does not include the drives that were sent back to crucial or ocz directly though.

I'm impressed, have OCZ had a revision then or has their manufacturing process improved?

The technology is maturing which means failure rates are less for all and the Agility 3 is at the end of its life cycle so all the bugs have being pretty much ironed out now.

The older OCZ Solid and Core drives were admittedly pretty poor, the newer SandForce drives on the latest revisions are far better. :)

since when did these become so cheap :eek:

i remember when these were well over the £1/GB mark

I purchased 256gb at £2/GB :(

In two years I can get an equivalent drive a quarter of the price and nearly twice the speed (if I had sata 3...)

Then again two years of entirely solid state computing was worth the premium.
