Link to Kingston A400 480GB SSD
This is not the cheapest ever, but still a very good price for anyone looking to get a 480GB SSD. I believe this is the cheapest "regular price" it's ever been.
It's the perfect size for a Steam library (I usually keep the games I play regularly on a cheap SSD and the rest on a slower HDD). Also a great boot drive if you don't need the most blazing fast speed, which is most people!
this or the Sandisk SSD PLUS SDSSDA-480G 480GB for only a few $ more?
I would get the MX500 or 860EVO for ~$15 or more. You get more capacity (500GB vs. 480GB) and better performance as they have DRAM cache, as well as higher endurance ratings and longer warranties (5 years).
-sorry misread -
Have to wonder how long these will be around in the grand scheme of things. The M.2 seems to be becoming a thing for new motherboards.
How long until we only see M.2, you think?
I would love to order from msy. But last 3 times I ordered from act store for click and collect I never get an email, store never answers the phone and no one replies to emails. I give up. How a store with such terrible customer service stays open I don't know.
Easily worth picking up one of these for this price rather than a less known brand for about $90 or there about - particularly if it's being used as an os disk or something else you really don't want to fail.
