SSD purchase from Germany

50Twuncle

Is https://www.reichelt.com safe to purchase a Crucial SSD from ?
They are cheaper than anywhere that I can find in the UK...
I am considering a 750Gb MX300 @ £151 + £5 shipping
I assume that there will be no import duty at the moment ?

Correct. No import duty or VAT will be due.
Are you an Amazon member?
If so, you can get the same drive from them for £161 delivered.
Although this is £5 more than getting it from Germany, should you have to return it for any reason, sending it back will be cheaper than having to post it to Germany.

I thought that Prime was supposed to offer free delivery on all items but I am wrong !

You are wrong.

From the page you linked to:-

I fell into the same trap recently and realised at the checkout they were adding carriage.

Mind you - you can get a 512Gb Crucial M4 SSD for £22
What would be the difference in performance between an M4 and an MX 300 ?

Have you tried following any of those links to see what you are going to get - you might be disappointed! £22 for a 512Gb drive is far too cheap.
