big jump from £6 on fleabay to £20 on amazon! should i risk the cheap option? And thank u for both replies.
The shite chinese ones on ebay will work most probably come from dealxtreme.com. Personally I wouldn't buy one as I don't want to support China financially for various reasons and don't want to support the leather industry (they ALL come with leather pouches). Since 2.5" don't require an external power source like the 3.5" ones there's little risk of poor safety standards causing a fire.
Also, watch out for long delivery times on ebay ones, most ebayers will dropship from China.

Guys
Sorry to ask for a spoon feed but have the encasing, now how i do boot the ssd so i can install a version of windows pls?
Thank you
i have 1 already installed but need another and not enough room for the 2, so external is usefull. But how do i boot?
Your BIOS should give the option to boot from external drives from the boot menu or use something like SARDU or YUMI. Pretty sure you can get a boot menu using one of those that will boot off internal or external.
