ooo. 240Gb for £100. Looking good. I really must bite the bullet, it's made it to the price I'd said I'd buy one (50p/GB)

This one just came to me in an email too, haven't looked at it really, but thought I would drop it in :

The drive that Freddy posted is a SATA 2 drive at 255MBs read and write, if you want to take the drive to your next PC build you probably would be better getting a SATA 3 version.

It's a nice drive though

Snowy, I know you have a problem with the SATA ports on your motherboard being blocked by the graphics card, after doing a bit of hunting around it seems like it's quite a common problem.

Now I know you like messing with leads and things, this guy has a way of modding the lead, looks like it might work.

I didn't notice the SATA 2 thing well spotted.  I can't sit at the computer very long, I just scanned it.

But I did notice the one I got is about 50p/GB now, so might be worth a look too.  WE've seen it before, but here it is again.  Amazon and eBuyer seem to have driven the price down...

I like it. It wont have the locking tab but what the heck. Good idea to insulate/strengthen with epoxy glue.

Thanks for that.

I thought you would like that Snowy.

Freddy I wasn't having a go at you in any way about the SATA II drive, Just wanted to point it out before Snowy jumped in there, just in case.

And another one I got in some email today :

http://www.ebuyer.com/387080-sandisk-128gb-ssd-sdssdp-128g-g25?utm_source=b2c_11-10-2012&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=b2c_thursday

Good price there, but a little slow on Write speed at 380MB/s for SATA III.

OCZ seem better value for money.

Data, do you think it's worth getting another OCZ like the ones we have ?

I see these : OCZ 240GB Agility 3 SSD - REFURBISHED

I'm running out of space and I just cannot be bothered to do a fresh install to rearrange things.  Especially so since everything is working well.  So I thought I would get another SSD and increase the OS partition.

Which brings me to this...how does one increase the partition size using that Easeus partition manager please ?

Nevermind, figured out the resize.  I didn't realise I had to drag the unpartitioned space to the front of the partition so that the OS partition could use it 

Actually I may be able to answer my own question again, these appear to be the newer models :

I'm not too sure about the Agility 4, Snowy did a build with one and it scored lower than the Agility 3 in a WEI, It could have just been one of them things and maybe it wouldn't be the same result for you but I thought I would warn you.

I know this too, the read and Write speeds on the 4 are a lot lower than the 3

Check it out:

Oh yeah I see what you mean - I'll get another agility 3 then, this one I have has been good.  Cheers 

If you can find a good price then this is the drive to get, it is quicker than the Agility 3 but cost a bit more.

If I was to buy another SSD today I would try for one of these or if not then get another Agility 3.

Looks alright, but twice the price, thanks but I will stick to the Agility 3
