Made for the fast M.2 interface that’s increasingly common inside PCS, this is not a cheap option, but if you want an SSD you want speed, and this has it in spades. Samsung’s 850 Evo (£150 for 500GB) is a good budget choice.

ALTERNATIVE: Kingston SSDNOW UV400 480GB Much slower, but still faster than a hard drive, this gives you more GB per pound. £111 from www.snipca.com/22127
