below cost so we wont sell it.

Cost is the same to all Samsung partners so if its £249.99 inc where you have seen it then its likely its grey stock without warranty no matter if the site you get it from says it has.

Good luck

Anyway....

In Stock!! Official with full warranty and the first class support of OcUK! Pretenders can weep

Could it be waiting for my 7990 to arrive so it's only 1 delivery?

Pretty sure thats how it works.

RenoRanes007 · 30 Aug 2013 at 13:49

Installed my 500GB today and loving it.... however when I tried to clone my current ssd to it using Samsung Data Migration it kept getting to 100% and saying Failed so I tried using EaseUS Todo Backup and this one actually worked so I'm up and running great now.

Installed mine last night and a fresh Windows install.

One thing I noticed was that after running Samsung Magician and telling it to optimise the OS (reliability option, think the fact I have 4 HDDs connected made Windows 8 enable prefetch etc), it changed the power profile which stopped my CPU speedstep.
