SSD where are you buying them from?

[Shadow_Walker]

Looking at replacing more of are Hard drives in school to solid state drives but found prices have gone up so just wondering where people are buying them from now and for what price.

[XiJ]

We buy through distribution but prices have defo gone up over last few months. The dollar / pound plus a shortage of ssd's seem to be the cause.

I purchased Samsung 850EVO 250GB @ £87 each 2 years ago. Looking on Misco's website it's currently retailing at £80.99 while last summer I was seeing prices circa £65.

SSD cost are going up quite quickly so shopping round to see who got the best deal / old stock hanging around is the best tip at the moment.

We bought 24 Samsung PM684 1.92TB SSDs last summer for £645 each, from IDN Supplies. They seem to be around the same price at the moment too.

Come give us a try?

 

Currently we are at £40 ex vat for new 120GB origin storage drives. With only another £2 for a conversion bracket.

The origin inception drive is a very capable bit of kit indeed, and reliable too. only a couple of failures in over 5000 drives sold last year!

You also get the three year warranty with these drives and get to deal with us should there be a problem. ave you shopping around to find who you bought them off.

@john is right though, prices are going up and up and show no sign of stopping in the next 6 months

SK Hynix SL308 120GB Solid State Drive - Ebuyer

 

3 years warranty. Works great in our older computers as well as newer ones.

I have a SK Hynix as the os drive in my Games PC at home, can't fault it in the 3 years I've had it, and yes the only reason I bought it was because it was white and would look good under UV light.

[edspecman]

yeah i have a hynix too good units. Prices have been noticeably on the rise it seems.
