Good price! Too small capacity for me, but could be a good cheap upgrade for the rents pc.
How many have you got in stock, and how quickly are they selling? Not home for 1/2 days, so it would be good if I have time to check the space on the home pc before I buy.

I bought the 120gb version of this a few days ago with the intention of sticking it in my laptop, now this offer has got me thinking that I could buy this drive since it will be ample for my lappy and use the 120 in my games rig...
Someone tell me I'd be crazy not to buy it so I don't feel guilty over buying two SSDs in as many days!

it wont make it faster where the ram is holding it back, but will you see any speed increase, most definitely.

I have a 60GB in a laptop which is more than sufficient for what it is used for - in that case depends on what you use your laptop for. I find most people keep it quite light on laptops these days, having media, etc stored on external devices.
I'm retiring my old vertex 2 to a dedicated games drive which is more than ample for my personal needs (I usually uninstall games I'm not going to be playing for some time or probably ever again).
All in all I would say your plans sound pretty good ;^)
Unfortunately the Adata SP900 256GB deal is the best we got at the moment. Month/Quarter end is over now so the deals have all faded of a little.
So for now this is it!
So is it defo no 256GB ssd deals ?
Do it. I have and I bought the 120GB last week.
Ordered, thanks guys!
I suspect so yes, it will just hit the limit of the controller. If this is a desktop PC you could also always buy a controller card, we sell them for like £20 or for £25 buy a SATA3 controller.
Its for a laptop unfortunatly otherwise i would
are these read and write speeds really taht much faster than a standard mechnical drive?

For the price of a game or a night out at the cinema with a mate, is it really that much of an issue? Failure (if it even happens) will occur years down the line.

overclockers please stop doing this to me!!
In the last few weeks ive gone from no SSD, then I ordered the Kingston v+200 you had on offer to use as my main PC boot drive.
Then before I even had the chance to install it you had the OCZ Vertex 2E 120GB for £44 and I talked my self into that (with help from this forum) to use it in my laptop. AND NOW you go and have this deal on and get me thinking mmmm I should use this for my laptop as 60GB is plenty for that, then the 120GB Vertex can be used as my games drive in main PC!!
Its my grilfriends Birthday this weekend and when I should be spending money on her you have me buying PC parts! I feel a "its overclockers fault im single" thread comming soon!

That's what warranties (and backups) are for.
Admittedly, it's a right PITA to RMA your OS/boot drive (particularly on your main PC/laptop), but no SSD has a 0% fail rate. If it's that important, put 2+ enterprise SSDs in RAID to minimise (but not eliminate) potential failures, for the small price of 10-20x this offer's £/GB.
With the latest firmware, there shouldn't be any issues with a Sata2 SSD. If there are you've got 14 days DSR with OcUK and 3 years warranty too. What do you expect for £30?

The benefit comes more from the instant access time more so than anything. A 5400rpm drive will be over 10ms on access time, all SSD's are circa 0.1ms, so 100x faster.
