    cheap ssd needed

    Hi looking to upgrade my mothers pc ( usually only web browsing and maybe a bit of printing) to a SSD and as it needs to be cheap I am at the other end of what I usually look for, so looking for either a 120 or 240 Gb drive (if 120 I can add the current drive as a storage drive later on if it fills up)with decent reviews, so any help

    Can vouch for ones by Drevo. Popped one in a laptop late 2017 and no problems. Bought the brand due to buying a keyboard of theirs prior, which is of superb quality.

    Wow, that is cheap. I have a basic laptop that just runs windows and doesn't need much storage. At that price it is tempting to upgrade the slow hdd to ssd.
