Sandisk 960GB SSD Ā£150 delivered at ebuyer as part of black friday deals. Ordered one for myself as my Crucial 1TB SSD is almost full alreadyā€¦ :slight_smile:

Just looking back at this thread, right from the start, brings back memories.
All the tech we lusted after back then are paperweights now !!

Great timing, was thinking of getting a large SSD as upgrade for video editing. At least SSD pricing seems to be generally down these days, major branded ones around Ā£30 for 240GB, Ā£50 for 480GB if you catch them on sale. Look at my previous post, 3 years ago on Black Friday sale I got 960GB for Ā£150, but a more typical price then was Ā£200 outside of that.

Subnautica is currently free to get on Epicā€™s store until 27th. Its been on my wish list for a while, but I never quite wanted it enough to buy it. Also works in VR for those that have/are getting it.

Iā€™ve just paid Ā£28 for a Pioneer branded 240GB SSD on Amazon and with free delivery!!!

Up until last night didnā€™t even know that Pioneer had moved into the SSD marketā€¦ I wonder if itā€™ll last longer than the Kingston one itā€™s replacingā€¦

Pioneer, as in the Japanese audio company? Havenā€™t heard that name in a long time if same. How old was the Kingston? Still under warranty? I had a Sandisk go before and they warranty replaced it no fuss. Havenā€™t had any problems with the cheap Kingston SSDs I used in crunchers, but they are crunchers so not disk activity heavy.

Well I never thought Pioneer would be into SSDā€™s ?

I found an interesting one on Amazon Here although I think the name is missing a ā€˜Tā€™ somewhere.

Sure this isnā€™t a Chinese clone / copy of something ?

Sarge.

Pioneer manufacture optical drivesā€¦ so they must be increasing their involvement in component manufactureā€¦

The Pioneer SSD arrived today and did a clone copy of the Kingston HyperXfury SSDā€¦ If Iā€™m right the random lock-ups and reboots Iā€™ve been suffering will stopā€¦ Had this happen a few times with Kingston SSDā€™sā€¦

Will be interesting to get a benchmark off that drive
