If you're going to buy a 1TB SSD, buy a PCI-E model, and not a SATA3 model.

 

Why?

 

and do you mean the dedicated PCI-E cards such as the OCZ Revo and Gskill devices which cost 3x as much, or the m.2 devices which for PCI-E still cost twice as much? The latter appears to require the expensive X99 chipset boards, else you can only use the SATA variety, the former is ridiculously expensive for 1TB and doesn't actually perform as well as the figures would suggest in terms of OS performance.

 

In an ideal world we'd be best off waiting for the m.2 10GB/s ports to become more mainstream along with cheaper M.2 PCI-E storage, else we're always going to be restricted to the 550/mbs top end SSDs we have available at the moment, but to be honest the performance is still going to be fantastic.

 

EDIT: Bah, ocuk have just confirmed they won't be able to get any more of the 480GB Intel 730 SSDs for the £100 mega offer. Ah well, my two should be with me Monday :D

Copying this my post from the other Black Friday thread...didn't see this one which seems the more appropriate home.

 

"Do I need 3 new pairs of trainers? I need the black ones as I don't have any dark trainers...and I love those pale green ones... but now I spotted bright green...I LOVE bright green...

 

If anyone wants a code for DC Shoes - BLACKFRIDAY40 - extra 40% off sale items."

Image won't load for me. I just assumed he'd ordered.

 

Could have done.

 

But that image looks like an example one.

 

It's bought by "Mr. XYZ" and the order number is sequential.

I can hear your wallet screaming from here! :p

Nice buys though - jealous.

It was just my 2 pence! Jeez i'll lower it to one pence if needed!

 

If it's me, and im going to go for a high ssd storage, i'd go revo. £700, well, yeah i would. It's more than x2 / x3 faster than a general ssd.

 

Sidenote...

 

My wallet has vanished.... just bought a ps4 with 4 games for £339.

 

(I'm now looking at another TV.... probably 40 inch for my bedroom)

 

OHHHHH THE PAIN! xD
