The Perfect £1 p/ GB SSD! Maximum Read: 275MB/sec, Maximum Write: 265MB/sec, Controller: SandForce SF-1200, 3 Years Warranty.

Designed to offer the best of both worlds, the SandForce-driven Onyx 2 delivers 275MB/s read, 265MB/s write, and up to 10,000 random write IOPS (4k aligned), without the higher costs normally associated with similar multi-level cell (MLC)-based solutions. The Onyx 2 SSD delivers an enhanced computing experience for netbooks, laptops, and home desktops with faster application loading, snappier data access, shorter boot-ups, and longer battery life and feature TRIM support as the ultimate Windows 7 upgrade.

OCZ Onyx 2 SSDs feature a durable yet lightweight housing, and because they have no moving parts are more rugged than conventional hard discs. Available in ample 120GB and 240GB capacities, the Onyx 2 is an ideal hard drive replacement for first-time SSD upgraders in need of primary laptop storage or a spacious application and OS boot drive. Designed for superior reliability, Onyx 2 Series is backed by a 2-year warranty and renowned technical support.

Get the same deal on the 120GB drives and you'll drain the UK's SSD market. ;)

[Jackster]

Nice.

In one year are we getting 50p a GB?

[Nathan94]

Nice.

In one year are we getting 50p a GB?

I wish! Be grate if it did! Now 60GB for £60? :lol:

Great deal though! :D

[MatthewMcEwan]

You is awesome Rawz, but I already bought a 96GB one, only cost £99 so cant complain.

Once again Aria (Rawz) delivers.

[Spaceboy]

Great price, but just too big imho.

[Terbinator]

Great price, but just too big imho.

People need to stop using this 'too big' argument and word their thought properly.

Edit: This wasn't meant as a sly, but it could send the wrong message out to the Aria team/forum users.

[alexnifty]

240GB is a nice size for most people's games folders I would say.

Nah Im sure when the Aria guys read these comments they finish off the sentence with "for my needs"

This is an awesome deal, but I dont need anything remotely this big, If I did it would be all my games installed, but I only really install a game if I'm playing it, so it would be redundant.

[Murf]

I remember when you said £1/gb isn't going to happen until at least next year.

Awesome deals RawZ. I <3 you.

Hey, In some lines of work it pays to be premature ;)

But seriously, you're getting close to out doing yourself :D

[zxh800]

I wish! Be grate if it did! Now 60GB for £60? :lol:

Great deal though! :D

If only I could find a 30GB one for £30. Would make a great boot up drive.

[lucas4]

great price!

[Koolpc]

60g for £50 would be a great deal!!!

[sunjoo]

Now 60GB for £60? :lol:

Great deal though! :D

this +1

[scottmac]

this +1

That + 2 !

60 gig for £60 and they would become pretty much standard. Great deal this though, just wish I had the money going spare

[Koolpc]

Some days i spend hours sitting on the toilet dreaming about SSD's!! lol

[lucas4]

[superlattice09]

Awesome. hope the 60GB and 120GB versions would release soon.

[joker3327]

Arrrrgghh must resist.......must re.........must have!

[ColonelMustard]

64GB for £64 would be bloody brilliant!

[Oxigin]

Looking forward to £1 per GB on SATA-III :D still for now try and beat that deal anywhere else!

[Lacoot]

64GB for £64 would be bloody brilliant!

Agreed

[albal]

Phew - my C300 256GB at £242 is still a bargain then. Sorry it was a ebay purchase from someone who bought in error. But still fro £1/GB I'd like full SATA-II Bandwidth

[gilljoy]

Brilliant deal :D

Very tempted to get one and stick my M4 into my macbook. Yes its slower but theres alot more space than my 64Gb model

[Nelly]

Here is a dumb question then, I don't really look up info on hard-drives/SSD's.

Would I see any slow down at all having everything on a 240GB SSD instead of like 60GB/120GB SSD for Windows 7 + Apps and Games on say a 120GB SSD just as examples?

If both drives had the same read/write speed then I doubt you'd notice very much of a difference, if you need the extra space then go for it.

[Brutos]

put that on the 120 and we have a deal

[xpdualcore]

Finally we are breaking the holy grail! Alas I can't afford one @ the mo but if I could.......

[cinek]

120GB vertex 3 £120 and you got a deal :thumb:

nice price :)

[benzeman]

60g for £50 would be a great deal!!!

this.

[Zaim]

This is a very good deal, if only there was a 60/64gb version at £1 per Gb :rolleyes:

[azzascb]

[kosch]

[RawZ]

[Zaim]
